Willis' 0.63 EPA and efficient reads signal Miami's offense may be better than expected.

Willis' Week 1 preseason action in Miami against Washington showed strong efficiency metrics: 14.3% pressure rate, 2.58 avg time to throw, and 0.63 EPA per dropback—above-average compared to backups Ewers (36.4% pressure, 2.92 time to throw, -0.76 EPA) and Miller (27.3% pressure, 2.45 time to throw, -1.01 EPA). In a seven-dropback drive, Willis read the defense and fired after his third step with no wasted beats, and his scrambling was a bonus rather than the main attraction. The source credits HC Matt LaFleur's progressive playcalling and suggests Willis's performance validates the offensive design, making the source more optimistic about De'Von Achane's cost in the second round.
