The Syracuse football player who got the least amount of love at the Cuse Pro Day was 100% Ervin Philips. He was overshadowed by Steve Ishmael and all the other Orange stars on the team.
This proved to be a microcosm of Philips tenure with Syracuse.
Despite not getting the proper tender, love, and care he deserved, he finished as SU’s all time leader in receptions. Now that’s remarkable on two fronts. Namely he did that at a University that has two receivers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Secondly, he did that without even being a receiver his entire career.
