Definitely when healthy. Remember he was the #1 ranked recruit coming out of HS for a reason.you don’t know how much a freak jaelan Phillips is as an edge rusher apparently. He’s just as gifted if not more than greg
I know that he has limited film at the college level, has a significant injury history, and hasn't played in over a year. Are teams looking at our 2-deep right now saying we have to double Jaelen Phillips?you don’t know how much a freak jaelan Phillips is as an edge rusher apparently.

If anyone else think they should opt or done enough to opt then they would be crazy honestly. With greg though I get ItBetter hope it's just him ..
He might be more tbhyou don’t know how much a freak jaelan Phillips is as an edge rusher apparently. He’s just as gifted if not more than greg
I don’t think he’s a lock at all tbh..some junior pass rusher could easily pass him up by having a strong szn and more tape..I get why a kid like Lawrence might sit..but a kid with 1 szn of tape..and 1 year of playing experience at the position..I don’t get it at alleh, disappointed, but I think his soph film wasn't as developed as people might think. He's first rnd talent sure.
The thing I don't like is him opting out as its a scape goat of covid, not an actual concern about it. If he goes first rnd then all is forgiven, but I would not say thats a LOCK. He is not a top-5 pick, you will see that. He has played 1 full season. Lets see how this goes but for a team that had a real chance to do something, thats a bummer.
This might be a dumb question but what’s the point of sitting out? I really see no benefit other than preventing an injury.
That assumes he played this year and had a good year.
Can someone explain to me why this is a smart move?
Like, I understand why it'd be normally. But this would have never happened without Covid. So is this just an excuse? Nobody has ever skipped a fall season before, as far as I know. So are the kids scared of Covid? Or they haven't trained properly, so they might risk injury? I just don't get how this is acceptable.
I honestly think he didn't need THAT much production this yr. 7+ sacks(and a good amount of tfls) would have guaranteed him a spot in the 1st rd to me.I'll be honest, I was expecting a sophomore slump from him (which usually happens to freshmen that break out in a big way).
He might've thought the same and decided to just avoid it by sitting out. Let's be honest, it's unlikely he would've had 15+ sacks again.
I’m not trying to attack you when I say this I promise. But when enough people type this.. and mean it, it’s unbearable. What if I asked you to tell 6’7 260 Greg he was soft to his face? All hypotheticalLOL if he's opting out because of Co-vid that would be the most ****** thing ever - I think it's just an excuse to not get hurt which is slightly more justifiable, yet still soft you won't play with your boys.
