The Liberty quarterback stole the show at the NFL Combine on Thursday dropping dimes all over the place.

Some highlights show Willis launching close to 70-yards passes:

Willis didn’t participate in other combine drills but showed off his arm and can run well, but will need time to develop with an NFL team.

He threw 12 interceptions and 27 touchdowns in 2021 completing 207 passes out of 339 attempts for 2,857 yards.

While NFL Network give the Steelers a 20 percent chance of landing Willis, there are several other teams in front of the Steelers that could be interested.

The Washington Commanders are tied with a 20 percent chance. They pick 11th overall.

The Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints all have a 15 percent chance with those teams picking 9th, 12th and 18th overall respectively.

But with the Steelers in win-now mode, missing out on Willis, who is expected to be a project, could be a blessing for Pittsburgh.
