The story that dominated the headlines on Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft was undoubtedly the slip of Malik Willis. The Liberty quarterback, who was ranked by many in mock drafts to go early as the second overall pick, fell all the way to #86.
A dramatic drop from the green room scene one expected for Willis' entry to the NFL. But then again, Willis' play did garner contrasting opinions. There are many out there who believe the quarterback's ball protection and accuracy isn't good enough to warrant a starting role in the NFL.
But this got the NFL world talking. Did Malik Willis deserve to go in the higher rounds or is his 86th pick justified? Going by one Twitter user, this was a reality check Willis deserved.
A certain Browns fan seemed to echo the same thought. Unlike the Browns, many teams don't have the liberty of having a quarterback like Deshaun Watson at their disposal.
A certain Giants fans, though, believes the Titans have nabbed themselves the deal of the century. Bet the fan wished it were their team and not the AFC side who landed this one.
An Eagles fan too followed up on the tweet by his fellow divisional rival by citing how the situation is perfect for Willis.
But another NFL fan was a bit more skeptical about Willis' future. The fan stated that the Titans don't have the right environment to develop a quarterback. A bit of a dig at Mike Vrabel if you ask us.
Willis' agonizing wait was one being followed by fans across the world. The quarterback, though, still took it all in good humor. Just minutes before being drafted by the Titans, this was his tweet:
Malik Willis' 2022 NFL Draft profile
Malik Willis played as quarterback for the Liberty Flames, who are known for running a spread offense. Originally an Auburn commit, Willis transferred to Liberty after getting only 104 snaps in his freshman and sophomore years combined.
Willis did suffer an elbow injury earlier in 2020. Off the field, Willis is known as a capable leader with great character.
The Liberty quarterback also has great arm strength which helps him in making throws from different angles. But more than just his throwing, Willis is primarily known for his abilities as a dual-threat option. The quarterback can extend plays with his legs where other quarterbacks would likely get sacked.
