Burly workhorse of a runner, averaging almost 22 carries per game since the start of the 2019 season. He's nimble with quick, active feet that pair nicely with his power. His game isn't very rhythmic and he can be a little indecisive when running inside. However, the confidence level rises on stretch plays and when bouncing it out outside. He's best suited for zone rushing attacks, where he can have better control over lane choices. There's not enough third down or special-teams background, but his size, power and surprising foot quickness give him a shot as a late-round or undrafted prospect who might outplay his draft slotting.
Outside cornerback whose lack of speed and short-area twitch will limit suitors no matter what the scheme. Phillips does have good size, length and ball skills but will have a hard time staying connected enough to receivers for that to make much of a difference. He's not a plus run defender or special-teams ace, which further clouds the picture for him.
