Phillips projects as a possible third- or fourth-round draft pick after he had an impressive week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah believes Phillips will earn a starting role at nickel back during his rookie season.
"For me, when I first started playing nickel, it felt natural to me," he said. "I played corner my first two years. I never played nickel. They put me at nickel in my third year, and it was natural. I feel like how I'd been preparing for the past years, it just fit me perfectly to go inside."
