Kenny Phllips is wearing No. 21, a jersey he had asked for but wasn't sure he would get until he showed up for camp this week. It's a little strange to see someone wearing 21 other than Tiki Barber, but Phillips said he's doing it to honor fellow U. of Miami product Sean Taylor, the Redskins' safety who was shot and killed last year.
Phillips said he never met Taylor, but knew enough about him to want to honor him by wearing the number. In college, Phillips wore No. 1.

I'd say good for him, its about time that we moved on from tiki, yea he was good, but the aftermath of him leaving the Giants, made me loss respect for him
And, Philips is wearing his number for a good cause, looking forward to seeing him in action
I watched Phillips play for UM for his 3 years, and let me just say, in a few years we'll all identify Giants 21 primarily with Kenny Phillips. He's gonna be great.
