I know we're talking about this in the offseason thread, but I figured it's new thread worthy and we need more non-QB talk.

Good to have Phil back.

Yep. Hope he can provide some positive influence in our young players' lives (I'm looking at you TW and FD).

I'm not sure what the exact job description of "Director of Player Development" is, but I know PD has the respect of a large number of players currently on our roster, and his leadership ability is very strong.

I'm a big PD fan, and I'm glad to have him back in the organization.

Think of it as a life coach for people coming in to the NFL and going out

We need more PD types in the org. Hopefully we can keep Fletcher around too in some capacity when he's done playing.

Yep. Hope he can provide some positive influence in our young players' lives (I'm looking at you TW and FD).

Hopefully his first assignment is taking these guys under his wing.

Was happy when I heard about this, if anyone deserves it right now, it's him and Samuels (but he's coaching down in Alabama).

Hopefully, as said, he can get the guys on the right path, especially Davis and Williams, though I don't think it'll be much of a problem.

Really like the direction the organization is headed.

phillip daniels impresses me with his behavior and with his strength. he is a leader and i'm glad to have him on board. and it was amazing/hilarious to watch him bench press that dolphin at sea world san diego

Seems like a pretty good fit for someone like PD. He is a good guy who garnered a lot of respect and had his life together.
