The NFL preseason is nearing it's end. And 2021 draft picks have gotten opportunities to impress their coaches and draft fanatic's have gotten a chance to look into the future. Even though the 2021 draft class hasn't played a regular season game yet. It's never to early to get started for next summers draft by looking into some prospects and Liberty Flames Quarterback Malik Willis is sure to turn heads. A 22 year old 6 ft 1 inch tall, 215 pound QB from Georgia certainly has a very bright future ahead of him. He attended Roswell High school located in Roswell Georgia. His HS stats are impressive. Total passing yards 3318, 41 passing TD's, Passing Yards/game 100.5, 235 pass completions, 396 passing attempts, 14 INT's... In 2018 he became a QB for Auburn University and was the 2018 Music City Bowl MVP. After a year with Auburn he transfered to become a Liberty Flame in 2019. He didn't play in 2019. But, In 2020 his breakout season had scouts in disbelief. In his first season with the Liberty Flames he threw for 2,260 Yards, 170 complete passes In 265 attempts, 64.2% completion percentage, 20 TD's, 6 INT's...
But it was a certain skill set that had scouts most impressed. It was what he did with his feet. His playing style has me believen that he is the next Lamar Jackson. Who was the 2018 NFL MVP award winner and has spent his entire career with the Ravens. Lamar Jackson and Malik Willis have a similar build. Jackson is a inch taller, and only 3 pounds lighter. And both of them have found their most successful time with a college that isn't a very competitive team. Lamar attended Louisville and played his college days there and was selected with the final pick (32) in the first round in the 2018 NFL draft by Baltimore. Malik Willis still has one more year in college remaining and he will be one to watch
