Malik Willis

As per my Sunday tradition this piece is about someone we can admire, respect, and look up to.

Twenty-two year old Malik Willis’s future in football is looking bright, with possibilities of making the NFL as a quarterback seeming more a reality. He is a graduating senior from Liberty University which is a private Evangelical university in Lynchburg, Virginia. Does a QB from an a basically unknown university have a chance to make the NFL?

His achievements on the field in 2021 at Liberty include: completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 2,857 yards and 27 touchdowns; as well as rushing for 878 yards for 13 more touchdowns in his 13 starts, CBS Sports reported.

From the Epoch Times:

Last month Willis was at the 2022 NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, where he received perks at the event, including a suitcase full of Nike gear. When he noticed the woman on the roadside, he decided to pay forward some of his good fortune.

“I walked past her on the way to the Nike suite and I chopped it up with them and I walked out with a suitcase and whatnot,” he told CBS.

“I felt bad,” he added. “And I was just like, ‘Shoot, I don’t have no money, but I can give you a couple of shirts.’”

A video, taken unbeknownst to Willis, demonstrated that a spirit of sportsmanship is something you carry everywhere, on and off the field.

The video was posted on Twitter where it went viral, and several Twitter users chimed in and hailed the good deed.

“Someone raised this young man the right way,” commented Rex Chapman.

“I just felt like I had to do that,” Willis said. “I mean, I’m at a position right now where I’m not worried about much of anything except getting better. So, if I can help her out any way, I felt like I had to.”

Kudos to Malik Willis!

Hopefully he will catch on with some NFL team.
