The Miami Dolphins have invested in traits over statistics with their recent draft picks, particularly Jordan Phillips and Jason Marshall Jr. Despite their limited college production, both players possess characteristics that the Dolphins find promising. General manager Chris Grier emphasized Phillips' potential, noting his skills as a run stopper and his upside after showcasing himself at the East-West Shrine Game. Coaches are optimistic about unlocking Phillips' potential, with predictions of greater development in the professional league. The assessment of these players will unfold over the next few years as they transition into the NFL.
Phillips always will be remembered as the player selected just before Cleveland picked Colorado quarterback Shadeur Sanders in the fifth round.
One thing is he is a really good run stopper, run player. So what he was asked to do for them, he excelled in what he could do.
He's 20 years old, has an unbelievable love for football, so we do think there's some things we can unlock with him.
Mike Locksley was the one who told me: 'This kid will be an even better player in the pros.' He said he's so young still in what he can do.
