Nebraska's Profile for Phillip Dillard

Versatile LB who can stuff the run and play the pass. Solid instincts, negotiates trash and plays the game inside out. Good hitter and sound tackler. Strong and rugged. Runs better than he times and can play sideline-to-sideline. Closes quickly. Solid athlete who can run downfield in coverage and will break up passes. Solid blitzer.

Not very tall and probably maxed out physically. Not the fastest or most explosive athlete. Lacks the agility for man coverage in the NFL. Was in the doghouse in '08, but worked himself out.

Late-round pick or free agent, but definitely will be in a camp. Given time, could surprise. Good football player.

Predicted Round: Undrafted

Was highly touted coming out of Jenks High School in Oklahoma. Rated #2 Inside Linebacker by Rivals.com. Played a reserve role for freshman and sophmore year. Started strong his junior year, but was hampered by injuries. Could have played in the final two games, but was beat out by a walk on that play NAIA the year before. Was listed as fourth string during spring practice. Questionable attitude.
