Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis has not had the career he envisioned when he was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. After two seasons in which he attempted a combined 66 passes in 11 games played for the Tennessee Titans, Willis was traded to the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2024 season. He appeared in 11 games with 89 passes attempted in two years with the Packers before becoming a free agent this past offseason. The Dolphins jumped at the opportunity to sign Willis, provide him stability, and give him a chance to prove he is a capable starter in the league. Now named the Dolphins' starter, Willis has battled to earn this opportunity.
