How dangerous is Willis as a runner? What makes him special?

My question is why I would want a "right-handed Michael Vick?"  Vick could run....but he was not accurate enough of a passer to hit the broad side of a barn if he was standing inside the thing with the doors closed.

And I would want a right-handed version of that to be my QB?

Not a bad question

I've just seen him get ran down from behind by random small program LBs too many times to believe any 4.3 talk. You don't see guys with that type of speed playing Liberty's opponents getting caught from behind hardly ever.

Do you really think if he was could run a really impressive time he wouldn't do it? 

My honest guess is that he is actually a 4.55-4.65 guy. I think he is far less fast, hence why he didn't run.

Which....honestly who gives a fug? He isn't a WR. If he has a crazy arm(he does) AND he is able to read the field, who cares?

Vick in a modern NFL offense is a scary thought. Don't kid yourself.

I will pull for him as I pulled for teddy etc, but I will not hesitate to point out we have now fuged up 3 straight first round picks

 

I just dont see rhule taking a developmental qb at 6 with his ass on the line and willis not going to play

Drafting our next QB should have been in motion as early as 2020. You can talk about developmental as much as you want but rookie QB's are getting starting time early now. Whomever we take this year or next will not just be riding the pine regardless if Rhule is still the coach.

Sorry but Pickett can't sniff this level of play. In one year Strong threw more TDs than TWO Pickett years COMBINED.

STRONG 2022

What round do they think this guy could be had in? Both his stats and your post has me interested now as well

I feel like people seem to underrate Willis's ability as a runner... I see lazy comparisons to Johnny football guys who run a 4.7. People have a hard to comparing Willis to a guy because we really have never seen a guy with his blend of skills. This writer has him top 5 all-time as a runner from the position. If your that good at something that makes you special.

He's not Vick or Jackson elite speed,but he's faster than Josh allen and Russell Wilson. He runs with a power neither of those guys can come close 2(vick and jackson).Willis was second in broken tackles last season with legs like tree trunks its not hard to see why.

So he's basically being compared to his draft class.  Earth shattering!

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
