Dockery hopes to help Giants at Super Bowl

Former Mississippi State player Kevin Dockery is trying to do his best not to let this opportunity pass.

The defensive back for the New York Giants has been recovering from a hip flexor injury he suffered during the season and was aggravated against Tampa Bay in the playoffs.

In the meantime, his teammates have enjoyed an incredible run that has led them right into Super Bowl XLII Sunday against the New England Patriots. Kickoff is set for 5:17 p.m. in Glendale, Arizona.

Dockery has been working to get back in shape so he can play in the Super Bowl.

“I’ve just been rehabbing day-to-day the last couple of weeks and trying to get back on the field,” Dockery said by phone from Glendale.

Dockery did not want to discuss much of the details surrounding the injury, but declared he will be ready to play and won’t be rusty if the coaches call upon him.

“Yeah, I’ll be good,” Dockery said. “I’ll definitely be ready.”
