02Scheme fit
Ideal system

3-4 two-gap fronts that prioritize strong point-of-attack defenders to control gaps and allow linebackers to flow freely.

0-technique NT1-technique DT3-4 DE
Best role

Rotational nose tackle or 3-4 defensive end from day one, with the potential to develop into a dominant two-down starter who stuffs the run.

Wrong fit

4-3 penetrating one-gap systems that ask interior linemen to consistently shoot gaps and generate pass rush due to his limited quickness.

Phillips excels as a physical run defender best suited for schemes that value interior strength and gap control over burst and pass-rush specialization.

04The evaluation

Selected #96 overall in Round 3 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Buffalo Bills out of Stanford.
