“The proof is in the pudding. My play on the field, that I didn’t miss a snap, a game or a workout...I’m a guy that does all the right things. I do all the extra things.” Jaelan Phillips on concerns related to his durability.

Weaknesses/Negatives​

  • Medical History
  • Temporary Retirement
  • One Year as Regular Starter (seven games of production)
  • Still fairly “Raw”
 
I really wish they would stop using the word retirement in regards to what transpired while he was at UCLA. He didn’t retire, he was forced to stop playing at UCLA because the rules of the university prohibited him from playing anymore because of the concussions he suffered.

While those concussions certainly should be of some concern, I don’t see that they prevented him from playing hard when he is on the field. His play at UM last year clearly showed that he doesn’t play with fear and he played the entire season without any type of injury.

I am no more concerned with him suffering more concussions than I am that any player on the Dolphins will suffer a concussion. To me he was the best defensive player in the entire draft and the Dolphins were very fortunate that he was still on the board when they selected at 18.
 
My low bar for Phillips is he plays 12 games, 6 sacks, and plays the run well. Upscale is a notch below Chase Youngs rookie yr, however, he could have even better numbers than Chases rookie yr because of the talent surrounding him.

I'm beginning to love the team we are building...if Tua balls out we should be close to 12 wins

I’m a defensive guy and I did want to somehow find a way to draft Parsons, Collins or Phillips

And wanted one of Smith, Pitts and Waddle..

we accomplished that and that’s pretty awesome :)

Find me a blue chip DE without concussions. There aren't any. This isn't pickle ball.
