Tennessee Titans rookie WR Kyle Philips is at it again.

Philips, a 5th round draft choice out of UCLA, has been turning heads in Titans training camp with his agility and route running, and his precision has begun earning him the trust and respect of his coaches and teammates.

After starting out training camp working on the second field during live team reps, Philips has now ingrained himself with the starting group led by Ryan Tannehill.

The two have clearly begun to build a chemistry.

Tannehill went to Philips on five of his eight snaps during live reps simulating a two-minute drill. In the Titans final rep of a 3v3 drill against the DB's, the two sides put a set of pushups on the line, and allowed Ryan Tannehill and Kevin Byard to select the WRs and DBs they wanted in there with them.

Tannehill not only chose Philips as a guy he wanted in with the "game on the line", he threw Philips the ball and scored the winning touchdown on the play.

Moments later, when the team split into position groups for drills, Philips displayed some wildly impressive footwork:

A ten second clip that seems to capture perfectly why the Kyle Philips hype train is already off the rails.

Quick feet, sharp cuts, gets his weight down, whips his head around, and runs hard through the football.

Philips only played a few snaps on offense in Baltimore, and his only target was thrown significantly behind him by Malik Willis. On special teams, he fielded two punt returns for a total of 16 yards.

It will be fun to watch him in joint practices this week against Tampa Bay and see him match up with the starters of an opposing defense. It will be even more fun to watch him finally get game opportunities with Ryan Tannehill throwing him the ball.
