I'm sure they do. But multiple concussions aren't something to take lightly.
For the Jaelan Phillips doubters...

Simms' comps for him are JPP and Julius Peppers. Says he's similar talent wise to Chase Young. Saw him going as high as #10
There's a guy posting on Reddit saying he knew him in college through music classes. Says the concussion thing was merely a way to get away from Chip Kelly who acted like a psychopath towards him. I'm sure if true the FO knew as much. Probably tipped through the Canes staff.

Just like the Dolphins knew more about the relative health of Daunte Culpepper and Drew Brees, right?
It's easy to criticize in hindsight. Given the choice between a QB with a torn labrum on their throwing shoulder and a QB with a torn ligament in the knee, it's safe to assume the vast majority of teams will take the risk on a knee injury, not a throwing arm injury. They chose the wrong guy and it's easy to look back now and see that Brees would have been the correct choice. Given the same circumstances today, I bet most would still take the knee injury.
Phillips is a great talent and playmaker who will give you 100% of what he has on every play. My concern was the medical but I have good reason now to believe that he'll be ok. He can be a very dynamic player for us.

Iām Totally on board. At least Weāre Swingin for the Fences. What choice do We have? Can only Hope and Believe that Our Boys did Their Homework, and the āFins Medical did Their Due Diligence on both Waddy and Phillips. Excited going forward, and Phillips seems SO STOKED to be HOME!!!

This has to be my favorite first round pick that we've had in years!! Super stoked here and so blessed to see him with us, thank you Grier for making it happen! It really does feel blessed and divine.
I love hearing this~ "Los Angeles made me but Miami SAVED me!" His heart is all in Miami and all the young guys around him are going to feel this. I can tell his energy is going to be infectious on the defense, hell the whole team! He's beaming with light, feeling really clear energy from him. A player's auric field / energy should be taken into account more often!
Man his future is bright and I'm just thankful it's with us.

Preach!! Lets manifest this brother!
He played locally in my area in HS and the former coach at my Alma Mater is the HC at his High School. They have good things to say about him as a person. I'm hoping his pass rush improves our already great defense. He will be better that Shaq on the Edge and I expect to see him play standing up and with hand down. He's going to be very versatile in our scheme.

Yes...Thank You!!!
I know you must be stoked and were a big believer in him as a prospect. Congrats on our drafting him! I hope he's as good as advertised on the edge for us. I do expect him to more than make up for losing Shaq and he is the draft's most likely player to get 10 sacks.Excellent video. Thanks for posting brother GUH-sick-EE
He's a GREAT fit for our scheme, we will be moving him all over the place and he will be wreaking havoc!
