Does former Eagles play-caller see the Jalen Hurts-Malik Willis comp?
Kevin Patullo coached Jalen Hurts and now he's coaching Malik Willis. How does he feel about the comparison?
MIAMI GARDENS ― When Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis was entering the NFL Draft, some used Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as a comparison. New Dolphins passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo called plays for Hurts and the Eagles last season. So does Patullo see similarities?
"I haven't been with him, you know, enough," Patullo said of Willis. "Jalen's big thing is, you know, he's won a lot of games and he finds ways to win. You know, I think that's kind of what he's proven and that's what's critical about his game.
But you can see some of the similarities, I think, just kind of the way they move and they're able to extend plays. And I think that's why guys like Malik and Jalen and even Patrick Mahomes, can be. When you can extend plays, defense is in a bind.
" Patullo expanded on their mobility. "Now they've got to play for that extra second longer," Patullo said. "You know, the rush gets there, you know, it's three seconds now, it turns to five, six, seven seconds.
