Phillips gives Carolina a true edge threat who can win with length, burst and a complete athlete's movement. His presence should make the whole rush easier, especially when Derrick Brown commands attention inside.

Strengths: Sack in preseason debut, size, speed, pass-rush tools, energy, and primary-rusher role.

Weaknesses: Must sustain availability and quickly build game-to-game chemistry in a new defense.
