As the Titans wrapped up their June minicamp on Friday, some players had exotic vacation plans in the works.
Cortland Finnegan? Well, he has a date planned with Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Finnegan is scheduled to meet with the All-Pro cornerback in Phoenix next week, and the two plan to spend a lot of time working together leading up to training camp.
"I plan to work about three weeks with the fella,’’ Finnegan said of Revis. “I just want to learn something from him because he is so good at what he does. It is going to be beneficial for me for me for sure.’’
Finnegan and Revis have become friends in the last year.
They ran into one another at the Super Bowl, and remained in touch.
Finnegan said he’d like to play a lot more like Revis in 2010. Last season, Finnegan had 5 interceptions for the Titans, and he now has 11 in his four-year career.
While Finnegan has more NFL experience than Revis, he said he didn’t think he’d be able to teach him anything he didn’t already know. Revis is regarded as one of the best shutdown cornerbacks in the NFL.
“I could probably teach him how to where Vans, that’s about it,’’ Finnegan joked, referring to his shoe preference. “We are two totally different players, really. He is asked to shut down a receiver and our defense is totally different from their defense, what we’re asked to do.
“But I can learn from him for sure. I wish I could teach him something, but I’ve got nothing for him.’’
