Phillip Gaines Biography

Phillip Gaines is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on April 4, 1991 in Concord, Concord, United States. Phillip Gaines (born April 4, 1991) is an American football cornerback for the Houston Texans of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Rice.

Throughout his first training camp, he competed with Brandon Flowers, Chris Owens, Marcus Cooper, Jamell Fleming, and Ron Parker for a job as the starting cornerback. Head coach Andy Reid named him the sixth cornerback on the depth chart to start the regular season, behind Smith, Cooper, Owens, Parker, and Fleming. He made his professional regular season debut in the Kansas City Chiefs’ season-opening 26-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. On September 24, 2014, he recorded his first career tackle and finished with two combined tackles during a 34-15 win at the Miami Dolphins.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Gaines in the third round (87th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was the eighth cornerback selected in 2014.

On January 11, 2014, it was reported that Gaines had accepted his invitation to play in the 2014 East–West Shrine Game. The week leading up to the game, Gaines made a lot of plays and impressed multiple scouts. On January 18, 2014, Gaines recorded one solo tackle and led both teams with three pass break ups to help former Atlanta Falcons’ head coach Jerry Glanville’s East team defeat the West 23-13. Gaines was one of 38 cornerbacks and 59 collegiate defensive backs to receive an invitation to perform at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He had a spectacular performance at the combine and completed all of the combine and positional drills. He tied TCU’s Jason Verrett for the second best 40-yard dash time among defensive backs at the combine, finishing only behind Oklahoma State’s Justin Gilbert. Gaines also finished second in the three-cone drill among his position group behind Oregon’s Terrance Mitchell. On March 17, 2014, Gaines opted to participate at Rice’s pro day, along with ten other prospects. He chose to stand on his combine numbers and only ran positional drills for scouts and team representatives from 23 NFL teams. Gaines had private visits or workouts with the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Giants, and Miami Dolphins. At the conclusion of the pre- draft process, Gaines received multiple different draft projections, varying from a projection as early as the second round (NFLDraftScout.com and Bleacher Report) to as late as the fourth or fifth round (NFL.com). He was ranked as the seventh best cornerback prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.

On October 5, 2014, Gaines suffered a concussion during a 22-17 loss at the San Francisco 49ers. The following game, he earned his first career start as the nickelback after Chris Owens was unable to play due to an injury. He completed the 23-20 victory at the San Diego Chargers with one pass deflection. On November 16, 2014, Gaines earned his third career start and collected a season-high five solo tackles in the Chiefs 24-20 victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Gaines started in place of Marcus Cooper who was benched after an underwhelming performance while replacing Jamell Fleming who suffered a hamstring injury. On December 10, 2014, Gaines suffered a concussion during practice and remained in the concussion protocol for the Chiefs’ 31-13 victory against the Oakland Raiders. He went on to miss Weeks 16-17 with an unspecified illness. Gaines finished his rookie season in 2014 with 20 combined tackles and four pass deflections in five starts and 13 games.
