John Phillips finished his 10th season in the National Football League Sunday in Seattle.
The former Bath County standout and graduate of the University of Virginia caught two passes for 29 yards and played a season-high 57 offensive snaps in Arizona’s loss to the Seahawks.
After signing a 1-year, $915,000 deal with the Cardinals on October 30, Phillips saw action in Arizona’s final eight games, playing 129 offensive snaps and another 69 on special teams.
The tight end, known as a solid blocker and special teams player, made four starts and was targeted three times as a receiver, catching all three of his targets for 38 yards.
The Cardinals finished the year 3-13.
Originally a 6th round choice of Dallas in the 2009 NFL draft, Phillips has played for the Cowboys, San Diego, Denver and New Orleans before being picked up by Arizona in October.
