Over the last two seasons, Willis has posted a 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game. Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone. If he and this offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.

Willis's elite rushing yards and passing efficiency project QB1 upside in Miami.

Willis is positioned for QB1 production in 2026 despite limited starting resume. Over the last two seasons, he posted a 5.6% big-time throw rate (118 dropbacks, per PFF), 10.9 yards per attempt, and averaged 44.8 rushing yards per game. His big-time throw rate would have ranked eighth-best among all QBs last year (behind Caleb Williams), and his yards-per-attempt mark would have led the NFL. His rushing yardage per game over the last three years would have ranked first, fourth, and third among quarterbacks. Willis's running prowess should have him flirting with QB1 production this year alone; if he and the Miami offense surpass lowly expectations through the air, Willis would be a strong QB1 with upside in 2026.
