We go from Tua to Malik Willis... Malik Willis on the other hand has a career time to throw of 3.3 seconds. That would have been longer than anybody in the NFL last year not named Shedeur Sanders... Willis only targeted his running backs 10.2% of the time with Green Bay. That was ahead of only Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson among 74 qualified passers... Last year Tua was eighth in drop back conversion rate, 83% of his drop backs turned into targets. Malik Willis's career number in terms of drop back conversion rate, 74%.

Positive signalRole

Willis's poor metrics (3.3s time to throw, 10.2% RB targets) limit Dolphins pass-catchers.

Ron Stewart identifies Malik Willis as a significant downside catalyst for Dolphins pass-catchers. Willis has a 3.3-second career time to throw—longer than any 2024 NFL QB except Shedeur Sanders—indicating excessive ball-holding. Over his Green Bay stint, Willis targeted running backs only 10.2% of the time (ahead of only Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson among 74 qualified passers) and posted a 74% drop-back conversion rate, well below Tua Tagovailoa's 83% (eighth in the NFL). These metrics suggest Willis will severely limit checkdown opportunities and target volume for Dolphins running backs compared to the Tua-era offense.
