Malik Willis had an impressive debut for the Titans on Thursday. But what is his path to snaps long-term? FrontOffice33 | TitanUp
Let me take you back to 2012 to a similar athlete. In a top-heavy draft of elite quarterback talent, Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III had every tool in the book to revitalize an organization. He was armed with a bazooka on his shoulder, track speed, ideal maneuverability in the pocket, and outstanding processing skills to sit and deliver within the hashes, but a division title that season highlighted what was a disappointing career in the nation’s capital.
Now, comparing Willis to Griffin III is fun from a skill set perspective, but with a much thicker frame and the body armor to hold up against the physical nature of the pro game, Willis is a vastly different prospect separated by a decade. However, Willis is arguably the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the rookie class, and it isn’t close despite being taken in the third round.
The ceiling? Multiple division titles, resetting record books, leading the Titans past the elite of the AFC as a dynamic dual-threat talent. The floor? Well, Willis falling late into day two of the draft tells you all you need to know about where NFL teams project his success. And while the besthis makeup is something NFL scouts and general managers raved about throughout the evaluation process.
For the Titans, delivering balls with zip and accuracy is nice to see in a t-shirt and shorts, but when it comes to inserting him under center in the live fire of a game that counts, Willis showcased well in his preseason debut against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.
