Path To The Draft: Tennessee DL Kyle Phillips

[kingkisses]

This kid went through a LOT @tennessee...it would be great to see him land a job as a Pro, in any capacity.

Thanks to Butch, while he did go through a lot, he did not go through much coaching or strength and conditioning. Side note, who chooses to go by Butch?

 

[Remy]

What about Sapp? What are his chances?

Someone obviously must have gave him a somewhat favorable draft grade for him to leave early....unless he is just a bone head.

This is one youngster who is NOT a "bone head." He has consistently been about academics since his high schools days. Unless you've forgotten, his mother graduated from Vandy and is presently the AD at TSU. He's a class act from a class family.

It makes me sick to see the talent that was wasted here.

Kyle was hurt a lot his first 2 years. Everyone want to jump on CJB (and understandably so) but he's not always the reason.

No, I'm just curious as to why he would leave early and not be good enough to get an invite to the combine. Maybe he just missed the cut even though his draft grade was supposedly higher.

Seemed like a good kid too.

He was upset with Pruitt and iirc, he wanted to transfer. But he would have to sit a year. I think he's just shooting his shot.

If you have exceptional speed or are very large, your college performance doesn't really matter
Example: McKenzie didn't play well but his Dad got him on an NFL roster.

FYp

The then Raiders GM got his son on the Chiefs roster? Wouldn't it have been easier if Reggie just drafted Kahlil himself?

Do DEs really ever get to shine in a 3-4 defense? Seems like all the glory goes to the OLB edge rushers.

Theres that one guy in Houston thats pretty productive in that spot.

I think a football genius thought his future was better suited at TE once upon a time.

He sure was a genius.

You know the more I think about it, Alexis Johnson maybe the most draftable guy for the Vols this year. He was pretty darn good.

100% undrafted

He was asking about Quarte Sapp not KPhillips

I think Phillips and Sapp sign free agent contracts after the draft.

I’ll be surprised if Sapp does honestly. He really didn’t do anything while he was here.
