From the article

Willis comes over from the Green Bay Packers, where he spent the majority of the last two seasons backing up Jordan Love. However, the former Packer did appear in 11 games with three starts over the last couple of years, primarily being used in subpackages as a rushing threat with 42 carries for 261 yards (6.2 ypc) and three touchdowns during that timeframe.

STACKED’s take

Willis' rushing ability (6.2 ypc in limited Packers role) will be featured in Dolphins' scheme.

Willis joins the Dolphins as their starter after spending the majority of the last two seasons backing up Jordan Love with the Packers, where he appeared in 11 games with three starts and was primarily used in subpackages as a rushing threat with 42 carries for 261 yards (6.2 ypc) and three touchdowns. Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik is expected to dial up read options and quarterback runs to maximize Willis' skill set and force defenses to account for him in the running game, putting emphasis on the Raiders' linebackers to account for his legs and scrambling ability.
