This athletic pass rusher is best suited for an attacking front where he can exploit his physical gifts rather than being asked to consistently hold up against double teams.
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who can develop into a starting 4-3 defensive end.
A two-gapping 3-4 defense where his primary responsibility would be to occupy blockers.
Willis's burst and agility make him a strong fit for schemes that prioritize disruption over containment.
Selected #73 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Cincinnati Bengals out of Kansas State.
