What my man said....but Borregales. In all seriousness, I take Phillips. Think he will be an animal and have a long career in the league.Borealis
I take production over a couple tenths in the 40 every time. Yes, Phillips had a good season, but what GR did in 2019 was off the charts. 15 sacks and didn't even start the season as a starter? That's crazy. What he can do at his size with his length is something that just won't show up in testing.I'd take Rousseau as well. May take a couple years in the league but he's gonna be a problem.
More interesting question, which Cane do you take first, all time? And that has to be based on what you project coming out of college, not on what they actually did in the NFL.

Gimme Ray Lewis. Maybe the greatest "tackler" of all time and a great leader of men.I was thinking this as well when I first saw this thread.
Sean Taylor and it's really not even close. Dude remains the best pure football player I've ever seen.
I could see Hendricks or Jerome Brown in that discussion but I didn't get to watch them play.
From the players I watched, ST. And maybe Wilfork.More interesting question, which Cane do you take first, all time? And that has to be based on what you project coming out of college, not on what they actually did in the NFL.
And this is why the question is really interesting to me. I agree that Taylor was an exceptional talent, but I don't know that he was a superior draft prospect to a Dan Morgan. Ed Reed showed us glimpses in college, but not the totality of what he eventually displayed in the NFL, same with Ray Lewis. We've been so spoiled that we overlook Kennedy, Sapp, Hendricks, Brown, Bennie Blades, Edge, Irvin, Kelly, Dre Johnson, etc... There are just so many.I was thinking this as well when I first saw this thread.
