Dru Phillips wasn’t surprised at Wan’Dale Robinson’s career-best day last Sunday in Dallas. He had seen the Giants receiver do it for years in their native Kentucky.
As a teenager, Phillips was in awe of Robinson’s high school highlights. It became even more incredible when they were teammates for one year at the University of Kentucky.
“Wan’Dale, he was that guy. Like, this kid’s crazy,” Phillips said. “When he came back to Kentucky that first year, ooh-wee. Short routes, screens, quick game, long, through the middle . . . he’s got it.”
