If you watched any Western Michigan football games for the past few years, you may have noticed a cornerback who always seemed to have his hands on the ball. That would be Darius Phillips, who the Bengals selected in the fifth round of this year’s NFL Draft. The Bengals drafted Phillips after he cemented his name into a variety of record books at the NCAA level. Now, the Detroit native is ready to bring his playmaking ability to the Bengals.
“I would say I’d like to come out and be one of the best rookies this year and go out and try to showcase my talents,” Phillips said of his rookie year goals in an exclusive interview with Cincy Jungle.
