Player Notes

Malik Willis Bio

• Willis has the best all-around physical traits as a QB in this year’s class; granted taking him is a major risk as he is more than likely to fail without good circumstances
• Accuracy at all levels of the field isn’t a concern but isn’t a strength either; has great ball placement on deep 40+ yard throws, just needs to become more consistent
• Rarely ever throws to the second read, and bails from clean pockets way too often; the mental aspect of his game is an absolute project, and will need at least one season to sit behind someone
• Isn’t scared to throw deep and make plays with his legs but can also be overly aggressive at times
