I’ll never forget lining up for a play and Phil pointing to one of our linebackers and telling him he was lined up wrong based off the blitz we were about to run and being 100% correct about it haha.

One of the smartest I’ve ever played against and a hell of a competitor. https://t.co/1AZxyvDafu

Congrats to Philip on an outstanding career. It was fun to watch my fellow Qb from 2004 draft class compete these past 17 years. Enjoy the next phase. https://t.co/RIYici7ZPN

I know countless kids have been inspired by u & will benefit from your coaching & football knowledge in the future. God bless! — Ben. pic.twitter.com/KsZ7L5TjaR
