Phillip Strickland brings veteran depth, but current impact is still hard to verify
Phillip Strickland is listed as an Appalachian State tight end, but the most reliable public pages available here do not show current 2026 production, so his on-field impact is difficult to quantify right now. The signal is more about roster fit than stat-sheet shine: if you need a sturdy TE with college-ready size and depth value, he belongs on the radar. The catch is that there’s no clear public stat-leader evidence here to argue he’s a difference-maker yet, so this is more “evaluate the role” than “bump him to the top of the board.”
