Malik Willis: 5 potential fits in the 2022 NFL Draft

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers could be in the market for a new quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft, though for a player like Malik Willis, they might have to make a bold move up the board.

Stylistically, Willis is a pretty significant change from Roethlisberger, who has been one of the league’s best quarterbacks since he came into the league in 2004.

With Roethlisberger under center, the Steelers obviously like to air it out but they drafted Najee Harris in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft because the run game had simply not been good enough.

Harris brings some star power to the backfield, and over the long haul, it is a lot of fun imagining what the Steelers could do to defenses with the combination of Willis and Harris leading the backfield.

No matter what down and distance, defenses would really have to respect anything and everything the Steelers could call.

A dynamic playmaker like Malik Willis might not be the guy to spread the ball around and throw 50 times in a game, but he could help bring some balance to an offense like Pittsburgh’s.
