Ervin Philips among ACC’s most dangerous third/fourth down weapons

Related Topics: Philips, Caught

Last year, Ervin Philips caught a lot of passes. This you know. The then-junior, who had not played a primary receiver role to that point, caught 90 balls (including 14 in the season opener) and was one of the Syracuse Orange passing game’s favorite targets.

Ends up, he was the team’s favorite target when they needed him the most -- on third and fourth down. And he typically delivered, too.

Other top performers on 3D/4D:
Hines #WF - 60% 1D/TD on 15 tgts
Weah #Pitt - 58.
