After entering the draft as one of the most hyped prospects in the 2022 class, Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis is set to make his first start of the season against the Houston Texans in Week 8. The move comes on the heels of the news that veteran starter Ryan Tannehill is dealing with an illness, as well as an ankle issue that will necessitate that he misses some time.
Whether the illness or the ankle was the culprit, the fact remains that the Texans will have a shot to get their second win of the season against an inexperienced signal caller. Willis is a capable athlete with some impressive arm strength and ball placement but will have a hard time navigating his offense through Lovie Smith’s complex defensive schemes.
