a tough, workhorse-style Charlotte back with proven volume and burst
Kalif Phillips stood out at Charlotte as a high-volume, physical running back who could carry a heavy workload, highlighted by a 35-carry game against Old Dominion in 2015. His appeal is the classic backfield profile: durability, downhill running, and the ability to grind out tough yards when a game gets messy. The main question for any team is fit—he projects best for an offense that values a dependable between-the-tackles runner rather than a pure space player or explosive speed merchant.
