The Internet is all abuzz about Malik Willis following him showing out on Tuesday at Liberty’s Pro Day in front of nearly 100 NFL personnel and another 100 credentialed media members.
The NFL Network televised the former Liberty quarterback’s throwing session live on Tuesday afternoon and ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay was on hand to take it on. They were joined by Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule, as well as several general managers, team executives, and numerous scouts.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network was also in Lynchburg on Tuesday for Pro Day. He joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss Willis’ performance.
“Everyone saw what they came expecting to see,” Rapoport said. “You saw big dude, great athlete, absolutely rocket arm, and someone who could move well and be effective in the red zone. That’s basically what Malik Willis is. From the coaches and general managers that I spoke to during it, they seem really pleased. THe ball really, really comes out of his hand nicely, and, I think they see it on tape, but it’s nice to see it in person.”
