One of the tried and true ways to find out an NFL team’s interest in a draft prospect is to talk to the player’s collegiate head coach. That coach is invariably an indispensable resource for information on the player, and teams routinely talk to the coach to find out whatever they need to know.
So it raises an eyebrow when Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze leaves out the Detroit Lions when listing off teams he’s talked with about his standout QB, Malik Willis. Freeze did just that in a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show when asked about what teams were showing interest in Willis.
Freeze kicks off the segment by admitting, “I have no clue on this one (Willis’ draft stock)”. He then gets into the teams he recalls being in-depth with about Willis.
