Rams pick of Phillips a costly top ten gamble
Vito Stellino notes Rams president John Shaw and director Steve Ortmayer faced a risky top ten choice when drafting Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips. Phillips crashed into trouble after a late probation violation and drunken driving arrest in Los Angeles, threatening the team’s salary cap and possible NFL drug program implications. Phillips’ arrest and probation issues cast doubt on the Rams’ handling of personnel.
