I feel like every boxer/MMA fighter would have to retire after one year if multiple brain injuries over a one year span is the criteria.
No I do worry about guys who had their bell rung one too many times. I don’t know his history. If he just happened to have a freak year. Or if it’s a constant through his football life. I feel like I would have heard about it if it came up again this year while at Miami.
I feel like after the pro day Philips shows he was the top 10 type DE that is usually in every draft. The production size and athleticism. It’s the giant medical red flag that has the potential to allow someone to get a huge steal if he overcomes it.
