Philon racked up 46 tackles, including 11.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks, and he was a key piece to Arkansas’ defensive resurgence in 2014. With the loss of Philon and already having to replace senior Trey Flowers, Arkansas’ defensive line has to fill some big shoes.

Philon is a nice looking NFL prospect with plenty of upside, and it will be interesting to see where he lands in this spring’s draft.
