So Willis is getting some real love this TC...I'm glad to hear about it (last NN recap)
Jordan Willis
No other way to put this; Willis has not only been one of the best defensive linemen during training camp but has been one of the best players at ANY position over the last couple of weeks.
Willis is a tremendous athlete, and for the most part, his assignment is simple - (get to the quarterback) - allowing him to maximize his physical gifts and focus on pinning his ears back to get upfield in a hurry to disrupt the rhythm of opposing quarterbacks.
Willis will likely be placed on the reserve/suspended list while he serves his six-game suspension to start the season, but he has played so well that I have a hard time seeing the 49ers not having a plan to keep a roster spot clear and/or flexible enough for his return following Week 6.
His athletic traits in the 2017 draft class were pretty wild, now all he has to do is rush the passer and it sounds like he's been doing that very will so far.
Sucks he's suspended for 6 games, did he even get to file an appeal? Overall I'm glad we're hearing some good stuff from all these depth EDGE guys (Key/Willis)…. and Ford? well that's just been news no one in here thought we'd be hearing
