How dangerous is Willis as a runner? What makes him special?

He has a very strong arm but he is what you would get if Zach Wilson couldn't move at all. And behind our offensive line he is going to have to move a lot. People knock Willis and Lance for playing nobodies but Strong has basically played nobody for three seasons. 

In 2019 he played one team that was ranked and it was Oregon and he went 13 of 25 for 82 yards, 0 touchdowns and 2 picks. 

The rest of his three seasons he played? No games against real competition. 

Don’t you dare crush @rippadonn’s dreams! He loves Strong and who are to interfere with that love?!

He was also clocked at 20.5 mph running during the Senior Bowl.

Yeah but he's slower than Hurts and about as fast as Johnny football according to @45catfanand @mrcompletely11

Willis and Howell had nearly identical rushing stats last year. Only difference was Howell wasn’t running away from defenders, he was running through or over them.

Find one guy saying anything about Pickett is geberational.... 

I haven't because he's not.

But neither is Willis.

If you want his running abilities against higher competition,  go look at his Auburn film/highlights.  He had over 300 yards rushing in the SEC as a part time wildcat qb.

I agree that Hurts' running ability is a decent comp for Willis but Hurts is faster than Allen.

Not they are not. Allen at full speed is faster than both. Willis nor Hurts are that fast, they might be better runners in terms of being elusive and vision but speed no.

Your right. I do. And people seem to laugh at me for feeling that way. So I'm painting the picture why I feel that way. Do I think he's a better prospect than say Lawrence? Not close. But I think he does give you a floor as a rookie. 

It's going to take some time to figure it out in the passing game. If you have a strong defense you can lean on his rushing ability to generation some easy offense and win with your defense. Rhule wants to be a rushing team anyway. It would be no different than what we did with cam when we were the leagues number 1 rushing attack and won on defense.

My biggest fear is he goes to a team that any QB we get will be receiving Urban Meyer level coaching eek.

 

I want a QB Willis is the best of the bunch this year IMO but this is a very down year for QB's.

His doctor and his dad told him not to play. He played hobbled, healing and put up those numbers playing for Nevada. I've been focused on his last season so I don't know how mobile he really is or isn't.

Putting the ball in the hands of running men 70% of the time has nothing to do with anything but being very accurate, very accurate playing QB two years in a row.

He's an exciting QB to watch. Zach Wilson?! I said he wouldn't make it. Carson is miles and miles better.

Carson is not miles better. You also thought Trask was the second coming of Jesus. You are just looking at a stat sheet and ignoring everything else. Carson has not played against quality competition in college football except for one game his entire three years. 
 

Gardner Minshew completed over 70% of his passes his last year as well, carried his team and showed he could move and make people miss in college and in the pros now. 70% completions in college tells you nothing. What’s the context on these completions?

It says since 2020?  And Willis almost laps him

Willis also went against much worse defenses than the acc.
