Temple DT Philip Simpson: Experienced Interior Run-Stopper With True Rotation Value
Philip Simpson brings the kind of interior toughness Temple can trust in the middle of the defense: at 6-2, 285, he profiles as a compact, physical defensive tackle with enough game experience to handle meaningful snaps and hold the point against the run. The key reason to care is fit—he looks like a low-drama, assignment-sound trench player who can plug gaps and free others up, which is especially valuable if your team wants dependable interior depth rather than a stats-only disruptor. Temple lists him as a DT on its roster, but public stat detail is limited, so his value is best judged by role and build. [2]
