Shockey set a Giants rookie record with 74 catches in 2002 and still ranks No. 1 in franchise history among tight ends with 371 catches while making four Pro Bowls. Phillips was part of a three-headed monster at safety during the Giants' 2011 Super Bowl run and recorded four interceptions that season.
