What if the Millard West graduate stayed home to play college football?
What if he would've been an all-conference player at Nebraska instead of Stanford?
What if he racked up 103 tackles and 7½ sacks as a Nebraska interior lineman in 2017 instead of doing it for Stanford? He was the only lineman in the Football Bowl Subdivision to surpass 100 tackles that year. I mean, even former Husker standout Ndamukong Suh, a unanimous All-American in 2009, never made 100 tackles in a season.
"I still think about that stuff," Phillips said Thursday from Millard following a Zoom session with his Buffalo Bills coaches.
