Phillip Gaines projects best in a Cover-3 match scheme, leveraging his speed to cover deep thirds and his length to disrupt passing lanes.
Year 1 rotational outside corner, with the ceiling to develop into a starting boundary corner capable of matching up against various receivers.
A passive, zone-heavy scheme where his press abilities and speed are underutilized.
Gaines's athletic gifts and coverage versatility make him an attractive prospect for aggressive defensive schemes.
Selected #87 overall in Round 3 of the 2014 NFL Draft by Kansas City Chiefs out of Rice.
