Mobile, Ala. – Darius Phillips came to the Senior Bowl looking to rubber stamp an impressive college resume, but will leave the event having to rest on the film he put together the past three seasons at Western Michigan. He suffered an ankle injury during the first day of practice, ending his week.
A former wide receiver who reluctantly converted to cornerback three years ago, Phillips developed into one of the nation’s premier playmakers, both on defense and special teams. His 12 non-offensive touchdowns are an NCAA record.
Philips’ star shined the brightest in Western’s biggest matchups.
