No player turned more heads at Shrine Bowl practices than Kyle Philips. The guy was completely unguardable in every part of practice. He won almost all of his one-on-ones all week and was flying all over the field, catching passes everywhere in team drills. Even on top of his ability to create separation and win his matchups, Philips was just really impressive catching the ball.
There were several occasions in which the UCLA product would win his one-on-one then have to make a big adjustment to complete the catch. Sometimes that meant showcasing his good body control, twisting around in the air to secure the ball while getting both feet in bounds to complete the catch. Other times it meant diving for the ball on a low throw or turning around and fighting through a defender to work back to the ball, snatching it away from their outstretched hands.
Philips was by far the biggest standout player in Las Vegas this week. He’s made himself some good money by elevating his draft stock more than any other player during Shrine Bowl practices.
This guy is smaller in stature but played both ways and was a killer in returns. Marcus Jones
