I think a lot of people are underestimating him.

Barring crazy circumstances, that's where he'll be all year.<br /><br />And word is Phillips is going to get a shot at running back to start out. I can imagine Malzahn is intrigued by having a bruising tailback like that in his arsenal. It's something beyond anything Auburn really has on the roster.Andy Bitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653266257744434147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-19259818731747190162010-07-14T22:42:09.354-05:002010-07-14T22:42:09.354-05:00If Dyer and McCaleb work out well in pre-season pr...If Dyer and McCaleb work out well in pre-season practices I wouldn't be surprised to see Fannin back at H-back. Something like that seems like it suits him better.<br /><br />Speaking of Phillips, isn't his college position going to be D-tackle? Maybe they'll give him a week of preseason to try it out, but this guy can actually help on the d-line.

Although I think he will be extremely specialized. I can't seem him as a workhorse back by any means, at least not in the beginning.Andy Bitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653266257744434147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-63457217524439498022010-07-14T12:59:53.728-05:002010-07-14T12:59:53.728-05:00You forgot about this guy:
