Over the last two seasons, Willis has posted a 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game. Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone.

Willis' elite rushing and efficiency metrics suggest QB1 upside despite Miami's limitations.

Willis is in a tough spot in Miami but could outperform expectations. Over the last two seasons, Willis posted 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game; that big-time throw rate would have ranked eighth-best among all QBs with 110+ dropbacks (behind Caleb Williams), and his yards per attempt would have led the NFL. His rushing yardage mark per game over the last three years would have ranked first, fourth, and third among quarterbacks. Derek Brown argues Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production in 2026, and if the offense surpasses lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside.
