Phillips finished the 2021 regular season with 92 tackles and four interceptions (including one that he returned 26 yards for a TD) in 17 games.
Phillips (knee) is listed as active Saturday at Buffalo.
As tough mentally as he is physically, he was rejected by the pros in his draft year and forced to prove his worth the hard way. Rises above his weight class as an undersized run defender. Shows plenty of strength and speed in coverage against tight ends, running backs and slot receivers. Will sell out his body to make plays. Can also be a special teams juggernaut. Durability concerns linger, as he has had trouble staying on the field at the NFL level. His aggressive demeanor cuts both ways.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile defensive back.
