Cornerback. Wide receiver. Kick returner. Punt returner.
Darius Phillips played just about everywhere in his four years at Western Michigan. And the playmaker earned a selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, becoming the 170th overall pick to the Cincinnati Bengals. The fifth-round pick is the second Western Michigan player drafted this season, one day after Chukwuma Okorafor was claimed by the Steelers in the third round on Friday night.
Despite being listed as a cornerback, Phillips scored a total of 14 touchdowns during his tenure in Kalamazoo. As an electric return man, he carried five kick returns into the end zone and brought back one punt for six as well.
