Draft prospect Malik Willis has gotten the Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin falling in love with him, and from how things are going, his future looks bright in the NFL.
According to SideAction, “Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was all smiles watching Malik Willis pull off the ridiculous pass.”
Through the combine and Pro Day process, Willis has seemingly taken over the reigns as the top quarterback in next month’s NFL Draft.
On Tuesday, Malik Willis went viral again over another ridiculous throw with potential NFL teams watching over him.
During an interview after his Pro Day, Malik Willis revealed that he had dinner with Mike Tomlin — who chose chicken wings as his entree — on Monday night.
In another moment, Mike Tomlin was seen catching up with Malik Williams following his performance on Tuesday.
The Steelers would likely have to trade up for their #20 overall pick in the draft to select Malik Willis. But it sure looks like Mike Tomlin’s interest in the QB might end up forcing the front office’s hand.
What are the realistic chances of Steelers drafting Willis?
It is hard to say. Some people believe that Willis could go as high as #2 to the Lions (pray for him if that happens). For Willis to simply fall to the Steelers, the Lions, Panthers, Falcons, Seahawks, Commanders, Colts, and Saints would all have to pass on him.
That doesn’t seem likely, so the Steelers would have to move up in the draft, but the question begs how far would they have to go and what would they have to give up?
It will be the most interesting story of draft weekend, especially since there are a lot of differing opinions on Willis.
