What people do when no one is looking says a lot about what type of person they are.
Malik Willis potentially can be the #1 pick in the draft or first quarterback taken, and he is out here helping homeless people at the Combine.
No entourage around, not doing it for the gram, just being a regular nice person.
No one knows if he will be a star in the NFL, but how can you fail when you are already a star person in your heart? You are already winning at life.
Liberty’s Malik Willis believes he should be the first quarterback off the board in next month’s NFL draft. But, he admitted, it’s not exactly up to him.
“I don’t make those decisions,” he said Wednesday morning at the NFL combine. And then after a beat, Willis dryly added “I hate that for me.”
Willis, 22, could become an NFL organization’s next franchise quarterback in just a month. That doesn’t worry him.
“[Teams] always are going to let you know how big your position is,” he said. “I mean, you’re the face of the franchise, literally. You’re the face of the city. So, you’ve got to understand everything that comes with that and making sure you’re doing all the right things and making sure you’re doing your job.”
In his 15-minute media interview, Willis exuded confidence through his relaxed demeanor and dry sense of humor.
Asked whom he studied and modeled his game after, Willis cited Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Tom Brady and Drew Brees — but he admitted he didn’t used to watch much of the sport he excels at now.
“I didn’t even watch football like that until high school.” Willis said. “I used to think it was boring.” So when did he stop thinking it was boring?
“When I started getting better at it,” he said.
I think he has made a fan of everyone at the Combine.
Flip the pages for him helping the homeless man and some of the Twitter reactions.
