The 2022 NFL Draft might see luck shine on certain NFL franchises like the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and the Tennessee Titans. They remain among the franchises that are desperately searching for a QB solution. While some of these teams scoured the free agency market, the opportunity to find a future superstar beckons before them.

Some potential QB talents can be a breath of fresh air or even become the franchise-altering change for teams. Amongst the QBs, Liberty QB Malik Willis remains the hottest draft property in the 2022 NFL Draft.

While the choices remain few and far for the QB position, Willis could be attractive for these QB-hungry teams. He is set for visits in the upcoming week with the Falcons and Panthers.

The interest in the Liberty QB is immense as team visits are scheduled in the upcoming week to recruit him. However, teams need to be wary about his immediate impact because he has areas of his game he needs to improve. But his Pro Day performances have only generated further interest as teams line up to get his services.

Is Malik Willis the answer for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints, and others?

Malik Willis is a dual-threat QB who possesses the ability to hurt defenses with his high-powered arm or with his legs in games. The seemingly effortless ability to throw the ball while being inside or outside the pocket is an asset for any NFL franchise. While many consider him, the best QB of his class, Willis will be a guaranteed first-round selection according to experts.

While playing in 13 games for the Flames last season, Wills did end up recording 2,857 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. A decent return for a QB who while not having faced the stiffest competition has the makings of a great NFL QB.

Though Willis might be better off learning in the shadow of a veteran NFL QB, he has the most “upside” in terms of QBs in his class. The Steelers, Saints, and Titans can be the ideal landing spots for the young QB.
