Stanford DL Harrison Phillips announces he will enter NFL draft

Stanford defensive lineman Harrison Phillips announced he will enter the NFL draft.

Phillips just finished his senior year for the Cardinal, but would have been eligible for another campaign because he suffered a season-ending injury in the first game in 2015. His 103 tackles this season led the team and were remarkably high for a defensive lineman.

Phillips, who can play defensive end or tackle, was a first-team All-Pac-12 selection and also finished the year with 17 tackles for loss.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranks Phillips as the No. 6 defensive tackle eligible for the draft. Stanford listed him at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds.
