Jacob Phillips had a whirlwind rookie season for the Cleveland Browns but he could break out and become a star for them in 2021

Jacob Phillips played for three seasons at LSU and after playing a reserve role as a freshman, he took off in 2018 with 87 tackles for the Tigers.

That was just the appetizer, however, as Phillips was all over the field in 2019 racking up 113 tackles with 7.
