Patriots have plenty of familiarity with Dolphins’ new quarterback
Malik Willis is in his fifth NFL season but will face the Patriots for the first time Sunday when his Dolphins host New England at Hard Rock Stadium.
The familiarity runs deep, though. Tennessee, then coached by Mike Vrabel, drafted Willis out of Liberty in the third round in 2022 as a possible successor to Ryan Tannehill. He started three games as a rookie but never became a viable starter in two seasons there.
"Malik's continued to develop, and that's the thing that I'm proud of him for," Vrabel said. "I know that he should be proud of himself to continue to battle and go to Green Bay. I try to stay in communication with him... and then he gets a deal in Miami."
