Dolphins
Dolphins EDGE Jaelen Phillips said he felt devastated when suffering his torn Achilles in November of last year but grew confident he would recover from the setback.
โProbably the highest Iโve been in my NFL career, and then to be humbled just like that, it was devastating,โ Phillips said, via ProFootballTalk. โBut right when that happened, I remembered going to the shower and I was crying. I just told myself, like โThis is OK. Iโm going to attack this. Iโm going to get over this and this is going to make me stronger at the end of the day.โ I really thanked God. I really said thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, because I know itโs going to make me a monster.”
Patriots
Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez looks to be a franchise cornerstone for years to come after a tremendous start to his NFL career. Veteran free agent CB Stephon Gilmore has been a mentor for Gonzalez and believes he has the potential to be one of the league’s best.
“I just told him, ‘Whatever you need, just ask me,'” Gilmore said, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “I always try to help out the young guys as much as I can.”
“I tell him all the time, ‘I wish I would have known what I know now in Year 5 or 4.’ But if I can teach a guy like him, in his second year, the sky is the limit for him. I see a lot of myself in him. The thing about playing corner is the mind game. If you get the mind right, I think he has all the ability to be whatever he wants to be.”
