He was a four-star recruit according to Rivals. Willis participated in the 2014 Under Armour All American Game. Willis committed to Florida, but transferred after his freshman season. Willis was ultra productive for the Miami Hurricanes in 2018. He led the ACC in tackles-for-loss with 18, which is also more than any other defensive tackle in FBS. Willis also posted four sacks https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/J.J.-Jansen-Jersey , one fumble recovery, and two pass breakups during his final season. He was a second team All-American according to Sports Illustrated. Film reviewWillis primarily lined up at 3-technique for the Canes, but he showed enough versatility to potentially play as a 5-technique and nose tackle. Willis lives and dies with the swim move. He has the quickness and balance to use the swim move effectively. Especially on zone runs where the offensive line is moving laterally. Willis is able to elude the blocks with this move and force his way into the backfield. Willis uses the swim move, again, on this play. He has the snap explosion to create havoc in the backfield. Willis is lined up at 1-technique on this play, which isn’t an uncommon occurrence. His athleticism gives him an advantage over slower interior offensive linemen. Willis also utilizes his swim move when he is pass rushing. The quickness shows up again https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Mike-Adams-Jersey , but so does his effective hand use to swipe the guard away. His ability to shed blocks is underrated particularity as a pass rusher. The swim move gets Willis in trouble too. He still shows the initial burst, but Willis loses his leverage immediately by coming off too high. He has to play with better pad level if he wants to maximize his rush or run moves.Due to losing leverage, Willis can be susceptible to getting legally cut blocked. If he comes off low and uses his quickness to shoot the gap, then the chances of him getting cut blocked are low. Ultimately, the long run isn’t his fault. However, he could have limited the gain if he stayed on his feet.As a pass rusher https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Matt-Kalil-Jersey , Willis doesn’t show a propensity to use counters when his initial rush is stalled. This comes as a result of his poor pad level. He has to diversify his pass rush repertoire if he wants to become a complete defensive tackle. Willis will be an effective rotation defensive lineman for a team next season. He is at his best when he is attacking 1-gap as a 3-technique. The explosiveness, athleticism, and production will almost certainly intrigue most teams. Fit with CarolinaWillis reportedly has off field concerns, which will need to be vetted. It remains to be seen how strict Carolina will act in regards to character questions. Under Jerry Richardson and Dave Gettleman, Carolina did not take many chances. Willis projects best as a rotational 1-gapping defensive tackle in Ron Rivera’s scheme. He is versatile enough where he could alternate between 3-, 5- https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Captain-Munnerlyn-Jersey , and 1-technique. The initial burst and athleticism that he displays will be appealing for the Panthers. Willis’ pad level is a concern, which is why he shouldn’t be drafted until the 3rd round at the earliest. With his off field issues plus his weaknesses on the field, Willis shouldn’t be considered for the Panthers until late Day 2 or early Day 3. The Panthers running back continues make history as one of the best and most versatile athletes in the NFL."One of the biggest highlights from the Panthers’ 2018 season came from Christian McCaffrey’s monster campaign. He produced 1098 rushing yards on 219 attempts and 867 receiving yards on 107 receptions. He was 133 yards short of becoming the third running back in NFL history to have 1000 yards in both rushing and receiving. The other two backs were Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk. Both Craig and Faulk had more time to achieve this feat, though. Craig met the goal while he played in the playoffs with the San Francisco 49ers in 1985. Faulk met the goal in 1999 when his Rams won the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the Panthers didn’t play well enough in the second half of the season for McCaffrey to have enough time to meet this achievement. However, he did get an all-pro selection https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/David-Mayo-Jersey , so he did receive some appropriate recognition for his incredible season. He also made NFL history with this incredible stat below:McCaffrey is at the top of this list, and it is full of wide receivers (with the exception of Reggie Bush). As a 22 year old, he has more receptions than the likes of Randy Moss and Larry Fitzgerald when they were his age. If that wasn’t impressive enough, check out this phenomenal highlight tape he posted:Personally, I believe he will get 1000 single-season yards in both rushing and receiving someday. He is that good. The Panthers just need to perform much better while McCaffrey is in his prime. What do you think, Panthers fans?
