A massive offensive tackle, Phillips was a third-round pick of the Ravens in 2020 out of Mississippi State and was claimed off waivers by the New York Giants at the end of the 2022 preseason.

Phillips played in 12 games with five starts for the Giants last season, four games at right tackle and one at left tackle. Phillips has played in 38 regular-and postseason games with 20 starts at every position except center.

Mullen had 11 tackles and two pass deflections in three games this summer. He led the game in tackles against the Rams in the preseason opener. Mullen also spent time on special teams.
