Footwork The Issue For Jordan Willis?

Again, we should not draft him but this is a better look as to why he seems so stiff on tape.

Thoughts fellow members?

 

I read that article too and found it interesting. I saw it a lot earlier from Inside the Pylon which is where Nick Martin probably got it. But I've seen it mentioned in year's past too. The missing piece of info though, since Willis hints at knowing the issue, is when did he learn about it. If it's after the season is over then maybe he can incorporate that into his game moving forward. If it was in-season, then maybe he just can't do it or isn't practicing it. The combine showed he has the movement skills, did he have his pro day? Maybe a close look at the drills there will be good insight.

 

I have not watched film on him but what I saw during the Senior Bowl was pretty impressive. I put a lot of stock in the Senior Bowl and the Shrine game as these guys know there are a lot of people watching. I know the rules make it a little different but the talent level is there and that is what matters to me.

Since the Senior Bowl he has really climbed up the draft board, no way do I want this guy in the first round but from the 2nd on I have no problem with him as one of our draft choices. jmo

 

I just watch him play. he is good. very solid player.
