He actually has an elite ypa and burn rate percentage. KC Joyners suggested that he is the NFL's greatest baiter. His recognition and change of direction makes him look like he is playing the percentages but he is so far ahead of everyone else that he isn't freelancing. He is using his abilities to get the most out of each play.

"I like personalities because they’re independent enough to do things on their own and they’ve shown they’re independent enough to be great players too,” Phillips said. “You don’t want a player who does everything you say, you want guys that have some initiative. We tell them to do this and do that, but Marcus Peters a couple plays last year … he’s playing man to man and they throw it to another player but he intercepts it.
“That’s what I’m talking about — [you can’t say], ‘No you cover your man,’” Phillips continued. “Well, if you intercept it when they throw it to somebody else, that’s great. Those are the kind of guys they are. You want them to do all the right things and help them to be a better player, but you don’t want them to lose that initiative. That’s what they have and that’s the way I’ve always coached.”
