On the field, Dolphins outside linebacker Jaelen Phillips was everywhere on Sunday, recording eight tackles and 1.5 sacks in Miami’s 16-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it is his work off the field should be celebrated more, and this week the NFLPA has done just that, naming Jaelan Phillips their week eight community MVP.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFLPA awarded Phillips this honor after the Dolphins pass-rusher “brought 18 rookie teammates with him to visit and encourage 40 youth at the Broward Regional Juvenile Detention Center. “
