Malik Willis Compared To Jalen Hurts
3 years agoAn anonymous NFL quarterbacks coach compared Liberty quarterback Malik Willis to Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. The same coach also said Willis' arm is "probably top eight in the NFL." "Jalen Hurts, I think, throws it better right now than Malik. More accurately. Has more throws in his arm where he has some touch and can throw with pace. If you're taking Malik, you gotta make it the college offense, and not do the drop back, read the coverage, play it out. To me, it's a square peg, round hole, at least while they're young and really learning," the coach said. Willis' elite arm strength has also been compared to Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen, but his accuracy issues raise some concerns. While there are question marks with every signal-caller in this year's draft, Willis unquestionably has the highest fantasy ceiling because of his arm strength and athleticism.
