Green Bay Packers coach Matt LeFleur is one of the coaches in Arizona right now — and on Monday, he met with a contingent of journalists for an informal question and answer session.
When asked about his former backup quarterback Malik Willis by David Furones of the Sun Sentinel, LeFleur had high praise for the new Miami Dolphins gunslinger. It’s just hard to find a guy that athletic at that position, and we all saw what he could do with his legs… Malik did a great job coming in. He was receptive to the coaching.
I think he showed a lot of growth in the passing game… refining mechanics. Obviously [he’s] a really talented thrower. I mean, shoot, he surprised me sometimes with his accuracy, especially down the field.
He was on point, man. I’m certainly excited for his opportunity in Miami and we’re definitely going to miss him. Furones then asked LeFleur what he thought Willis’ chances of having success with the Dolphins would be.
