"I wanted to lead my team in interceptions one year. I did that one year. I wanted to be an Alll-American. I did that one year," Phillips says. "I wanted to win a national championship but that didn't happen. Sometimes it's like that."

The 6-2, 212-pound free safety is the best available player at his position almost by default. rest of story http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2008-04-13-usat-safeties_N.htm
I think that Tyrelle Johnson is as good as Phillips and if he went to Arkansas instead of Arkansas State he would be the first safety of the board
