Dolphins Coaches Praise Malik Willis at Minicamp, Stress Consistency
The on-record backing suggests Miami will lean into a quarterback run threat that changes how defenses match up.
Overview
- Miami’s offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and quarterbacks coach Bush Hamdan offered detailed praise Tuesday at the Miami Gardens minicamp, putting their public support for Malik Willis on the record.
- Slowik said Willis can spin the ball to every part of the field and use his legs to attack space, adding that his upbeat personality lifts the room.
- Hamdan called Willis a leader who is first in and last out of the facility, noting he has rallied teammates across the roster.
- Both coaches framed consistency as the next hurdle, with Slowik adding that Willis’ running threat forces 11‑on‑11 defense in a way Miami did not have with Tua Tagovailoa.
- The Dolphins committed to Willis in March on a three-year, $67.5 million deal, signaling he is the planned starter as the team shapes its offense around his arm strength and mobility.
