Ozzie Newsome GM of the Ravens in 1996 was under pressure from Art Modell to draft Phillips with the 4th overall pick but ignored Modell and drafted Jonathon Ogden instead

What a waste of talent.

What a waste of talent, potential, opportunities, and a life. It kind of amazes me to consider the possibilities for happy prosperity ahead of him, 1 second after that moment he was drafted, instead of the road he traveled.

How unfortunate.

Came to the CFL, won a championship and then was out of the league. I would bet he sold his Grey Cup rings tears ago. The guy he killed in jail was related to a former CFL player.
