02Scheme fit
Ideal system

The Shanahan offense, with its emphasis on outside zone running, play-action passing, and versatile tight ends, is an excellent fit for Willis's skill set.

Y-Tight EndH-BackWing Blocker
Best role

Willis can contribute immediately as a rotational blocking H-back and special teams contributor, eventually growing into a reliable starting Y-tight end with his versatile blocking and adequate receiving ability.

Wrong fit

A pass-heavy Air Raid offense that primarily utilizes receiving-oriented tight ends would negate his primary blocking value and limit his opportunities.

Willis's blocking prowess and positional versatility make him a valuable asset for any run-heavy, play-action oriented scheme.
