According to Ian Rapoport, the Lions and Steelers will be hosting Liberty QB Malik Willis for pre-draft visits this week.
The Lions hold the No. 2 pick and the Steelers pick at No. 20. There’s a good chance those two picks represent the ceiling and the floor for Willis’ draft stock at the moment.
There’s quite a bit of buzz for Willis and it looks like he’s a virtual lock to go in the first round, although it’s far less clear which team he’ll end up with.
Willis, 22, started for two years at Liberty after transferring over from Auburn. He led them to a 17-6 record in his two seasons.
NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein says he has the build and play style of Eagles QB Jalen Hurts with the arm of former NFL QB Jay Cutler.
Willis threw for 5,176 yards over his four years at Auburn and Liberty, completing 62.8% of his passes. He threw for 48 touchdowns and 18 interceptions over his career. He also added 2,131 yards rushing over 366 attempts, and 29 career rushing touchdowns.
