He was around 265 at one point.  The coaches at K-State wanted him at 255, so he cut down.

Our strength and conditioning coaches...coupled with our nutritionists will take care of that. They will help Ross too.

This guy is a beast he's supposed to play RE so him on right Dunlap on left wouldn't want 2 be a Qb.

[Nati#1]

He's kind of weak. Won't produce.

Him and Mauluga are horrible. My buddy is a bouncer and says Maualuga was a frequent, almost every other night bar goer. I think that would explain why they both looked bloated. Based off camp pictures, Burfict looks MUCH leaner...

Many fans didn't want Barnett because he wasn't athletic and didn't have measureables. Willis has those qualities.

He got better as time went on, and although he needs to refine a lot of pass rushing technique, there is upside to him.

Willis is also a plug and play player. You can line him up anywhere and he has a motor that is unrelenting.

I like the pick. Would like another pure pass rusher though.

Yeah, makes sense and i heard most of this from you TCC. Burfict looks great this Offseason.

Gotta have hope on this alone as he is a great LB and he wants to win and almost willed us to a playoff win against those stealers.

Emotions can get in the way, probably would with me. I just love having a badazz like Burfict hating them as much as me.

Good stuff Wolf, i just like Willis at stopping the run much better than Barnett. They are about the same size though
and Willis didn't do his pass rushing damage against the big time schools like Barnett, I still like Willis more, we can
refine his pass rush skills. I think it would of been tougher to get Barnett to be a good run stopper.

Love the value pick here at a position of need! Id been good with Rivers or Basham as well, but lot of mocks had Willis going early 2nd round. Great night for the Gals

[phil413]

Wanted him in the 2nd when my top 3 guys were taken. Talk about a steal, not even a project, hard to hate this pick.

[Ricky Spanish]

Great pick if you run a 3-4

Oops

[rezolve11]

This has been a GREAT draft so far.

From what I've seen of him looks quick strong and agile. I feel it was a good pick only time will tell though.

Can remember watching Maualuga on Hard Knocks, and tbh it was just like watching a career college student. Not sure he even left. Guess permanently living the college life is a decent life mind, not great for a pro sports team however.

Willis is a fantastic pick, another who could've gone much earlier. Really happy with this, hope he will translate it to the NFL.
