Lions to host Utah CB Clark Phillips on a pre-draft visit

After meeting with Georgia DT Jalen Carter on Monday, the Detroit Lions will welcome a much smaller defensive prospect to Allen Park on Tuesday for another pre-draft visit. Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports the team will have Utah cornerback Clark Phillips in for a “top-30” visit.

Phillips is generally projected as a Day 2 pick. His game tape and production (9 career INTs) at Utah scream top-25 overall, but he comes up short athletically. At just 5-foot-9 and with underwhelming speed and agility testing, Phillips will be a leap of coaching faith at the next level. Despite his smallish stature, he projects as an outside-only cornerback in the NFL.

The meeting in Detroit for Phillips follows a formal visit with the Lions at the NFL Scouting Combine.
