Phillips had 11 return tds in his last three college seasons (5 ints, 4 KO, 1 PR, 1 fum). He does not have elite speed (at least in the 40 yard dash) but he obviously has great vision and a "feel" for finding the holes in coverage. There is a special skill to returning kicks, but it is hard to measure in any way other than just watching guys return kicks.
I'd give Brandon Wilson a shot at returning kick offs. He had a couple of tds and a higher average per return than Philips in college. Plus he ran a 4.35 forty. He can blaze.
