Former Nebraska RB and #6 overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft, Lawrence Phillips, was found dead in his jail cell early this morning. (He was facing murder charges of his "former" cellmate...) Phillips was 40.
Also one of the first ridiculous college football players I remember watching. He was insanely good, and as it turns out, just insane. So R.I.P. to Lawrence Phillips, one of our favorites here at The Brief. And R.I.P. to Joe Thiesmann's draft night analysis of the pick.
