The Miami Dolphins have made a big change this offseason, replacing Vic Fangio with Anthony Weaver as the team’s new defensive coordinator.
Despite being hired earlier this month, Weaver is already in the building putting in work and mingling with the guys he’ll be leading this offseason.
One guy Weaver will get to mold is linebacker Jaelan Phillips, who has been around the building while rehabbing from the torn Achilles he suffered late in the season.
Speaking to the media for the first time on Thursday, Weaver shared his incredible reaction to seeing Phillips without his shirt for the first time.
“I saw Jaelan Phillips with his shirt off the other day, and he made me want to go put a sweater on,” Weaver said. “That guy is chiseled.”
Phillips’ physique has been impressive since he entered the NFL in 2021 as a first-round pick. Last year, a photo from OTAs made its way around the fanbase through social media, and let’s just say that Weaver likely isn’t the only person to feel that way when looking at the former Miami Hurricane.

It will be very interesting to see how Weaver uses Phillips when he’s fully recovered, but that might not be for some time.
