Overview
Powerful nose tackle known for his work ethic and leadership. Phillips is compact and explosive at the point but is inconsistent at controlling blocks quickly enough as a read-and-react defender. He can be quick off the snap but lacks fluidity and tends to get sealed by move blocks. In general, he’s gap-sound and can be hard for blockers to finish. He has yet to display he can provide pass-rush production, so he will need to prove he can at least be a run plugger in the pros.
Strengths
Explosive hips with twitchy upper-body power.
Generates instant press and separation at the point.
Can spring into gaps off the snap and penetrate upfield.
Has spin counter that can peel him off the block.
Secondary effort to strain and maintain gap integrity.
Uses slap-to-arm-over to bypass block.
Weaknesses
Initial strike comes in two segments instead of a fluid motion.
Gets too far out over his pads, limiting his two-gap control.
Fails to read and mirror lateral blocks quickly enough.
Below-average shed timing as a potential tackler.
Had no sacks over two seasons at Maryland.
