We never thought we'd say this after his first two seasons in the NFL, but Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis has been the talk of the town recently.
Willis has had a brutal start to his career, as he's failed to show he can be a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL. However, it's also fair to point out that he hasn't had many opportunities, and he's been surrounded by a bad supporting cast when he has.
But perhaps Willis is about to turn the corner in his third season. There is momentum for that thought process after the Liberty product was all the rage at the team's training camp session at Nissan Stadium on Saturday.
By all accounts, Willis was fantastic, and it might have been the best practice of his career in the two-tone blue. Willis' private quarterbacks coach, Sean McEvoy, put out a highlight video of Willis' day on Monday morning.

Willis is currently fighting for the No. 2 quarterback job behind Will Levis against veteran Mason Rudolph, but he's also fighting to stay on the team, as it's possible Tennessee will cut him if he loses to Rudolph.
So far, Willis is doing enough to convince the Titans they should keep a third signal-caller. He's also helping his trade value, which was non-existent entering training camp.
