Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse football receiver Erv Philips broke a couple records, but it was cornerback Chris Fredrick who earned the team's top grade from Pro Football Focus this weekend.
The redshirt sophomore was thrown at five times during the Orange's 33-25 loss at North Carolina State and allowed zero catches. He was credited with two pass break-ups by SU Athletics, including an especially impressive recovery down the middle of the field.
Fredrick, whose only slip-up was a missed tackle in the run game, finished with an overall grade of 90.4 -- third-best among cornerbacks in the Football Bowl Subdivision this week.
