From the article

Willis is talented—we saw that in Green Bay—comfortable passing from the pocket, and able to extend plays by escaping outside. But with limited support, he holds onto the ball too long, takes sacks, or misses his targets because his accuracy gets loose/inconsistent on the run

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Willis faces elite Lions pass rush while struggling with pressure and accuracy.

Willis faces a difficult matchup against the Lions' elite pass rush (5th in pressures with 116, 7th in sack rate at 7.4%); the source notes Willis holds onto the ball too long, takes sacks, and misses targets due to loose/inconsistent accuracy on the run when under pressure, compounded by Miami's average offensive line (31st in pressure rate allowed at 43.2%, 31st in sack rate allowed at 10.3%) and lack of true playmakers, forcing Willis to create on his own with limited support.
