Overview
- Miami coach Jeff Hafley told reporters that Willis showed clearer command of the scheme, greater confidence and stronger leadership during spring work.
- The team finished its organized offseason sessions in mid-June and coaches say the quarterback room has been closely coached by Bobby Slowik, Bush Hamdan and Kevin Patullo.
- Local coverage and analysts cautioned that Willis must improve his processing speed and timing with receivers before training camp for the starters to click.
- Miami reshaped its receiving corps after moving on from Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle and added lower-cost veterans and rookies, leaving proven pass-catching depth limited.
- Quinn Ewers is viewed as the primary backup after showing improvement this spring and the end of July training camp plus preseason reps will be the decisive tests for Willis and the offense.
