Phillips's best fit is in a 4-3 defense that prioritizes athletic, downhill linebackers who can cover ground and make plays from sideline to sideline.
Year 1 contributor on special teams and sub-package linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a starting weakside linebacker.
Two-gap 3-4 scheme where he would be asked to consistently take on and shed blocks from interior offensive linemen.
Phillips offers a good blend of speed and coverage ability, making him a valuable asset in modern spread offenses.
Selected #97 overall in Round 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of LSU.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
