Projection

Jaelan Phillips projects as a Gold / Quality Starting NFL EDGE Defender in an Even front. Powerful, athletic edge defender that can do it all. Has very good power, good length, very good lateral quickness, and good upfield burst to be an all-around threat as a pass rusher showing the capability of winning around the edge, on inside shoots, and using speed to power to drive blockers back into the pocket or tee up a quick shed move using his very good hand violence. As a run defender, again has all the tools, has a very good size and anchor to hold his own at the POA, and very good shoot quickness to penetrate interior gaps to cause backfield disruption. Also has the flexibility to do some underneath coverage assignments if needed. Medium injury risk added to his profile due to the 2023 Torn Achilles and 2024 Knee Injury.
