BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A symbolic box doesn't suit Whop Philyor. Not even close.
Put Indiana's senior receiver in one -- either because of pandemic restrictions or defensive attention -- and watch imagination and creativity go into overdrive. He sees himself morphing into a cartoon classic:
The Tasmanian Devil.
"You know the Tasmanian Devil, when they put him in a box?" Philyor asks via Zoom press conference. "He can't do nothing. He's just spinning in a box."
The result – misery.
"I'm like the Tasmanian Devil, all Looney Tunes," he says.
