The Miami Dolphins selected defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from Maryland during the fifth round of the draft. Phillips is recognized for his strong run-stopping abilities but needs refinement in his pass-rushing techniques. With impressive stats from prior seasons, he showcases good physical attributes including hand and foot speed. Although he has yet to record a sack in his career, his work ethic and leadership skills are noted positively. As it stands, Phillips is anticipated to contribute mainly as a two-down rotational player on the defensive line.
Phillips is a strong player and a former high school wrestler who controls gaps well. He has good hands, good feet and a high motor.
According to NFL.com, he's a "powerful nose tackle known for his work ethic and leadership." Phillips is compact and explosive at the point but is inconsistent.
