Malik Willis just signed a solid contract with the Miami Dolphins to become their starting quarterback. It's not quite the massive deal some reports suggested, but it's still impressive for a player with only six career starts. The 27-year-old, who turns that age in May, brings strong physical tools that made him a third-round draft pick out of Liberty. The Dolphins' new general manager, John Erick Sullivan and head coach, Jeff Hathley. Both came over from the Green Bay Packers this off-season. That's where Willis spent the last two seasons, sharpening his skills in their offense after a tough start with the Tennessee Titans. Fans and analysts are buzzing about his late-season spark with Green Bay. He relieved an injured Jordan love against the Bears, throwing for 121 yards and a touchdown. When he started against the Baltimore Ravens, passing for 288 yards and a score, while rushing for 60 yards and two more.

1:01Touchdowns, those games highlighted his potential, even with just 155 career pass attempts. Miami is betting he can build on that small sample as a full-time starter. If Willis keeps developing, this could turn into a steal for the Dolphins. It's a calculated risk, but one that fits their rebuilt roster. This story is made possible by our sponsor.
