Free Safety
No. 27
Nebraska-Omaha
"One of the best all-around athletes on the team, Wise has been bothered every year by groin pulls and was forced out of six games last year with one he suffered in the Giant preseason game. He became the free safety when Steve Tannen was hurt in the Atlanta game and finished out the year there. Wise is the incumbent as '74 opens and is looked for by Charley Winner to add strength to the secondary.
Phil had an 80-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Baltimore at Shea after Burgess Owens knocked the ball out of Ray Chester's hands. He had two fumble recoveries against Philadelphia, one of them leading to a touchdown. Overall he had four fumble recoveries and has seven in his career.
Drafted 6th in 1971, Phil majored in criminal justice. He specialized in probation and parole problems. His hometown is Omaha, Nebraska."
