The More You Know
Willis was a third-round draft choice of the Titans in 2022 but quickly — not our place to say rightly or wrongly — lost steam in that building. He spent the past two seasons rehabilitating his quarterback journey as QB2 on the Packers and followed Hafley and Dolphins new General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan to the 305 from Titletown. Willis, by and large, remains a toolsy player with loads of potential to realize; his exciting, albeit small, sample since 2024 includes an NFL-best 134.6 passer rating (min. 50 attempts), while hitting 78.7 percent of his throws for 972 yards, six touchdowns and no picks, and rushing for 261 and three touchdowns at 6.2 yards a pop in 11 games and three starts (2-1 record).
