Will G Willis be a Junior next season?

[Tmack3]

thanks.

 

[Canes1135]

My guess is a Redshirt Soph...so technically a junior, yes.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

redshirt soph, but he will be draft eligible after next year. If he has a monster season he could forego his last two years.

Doubt it needs to have two productive years and behave himself

I agree with the behaving himself and maybe another year. However he was VERY productive in his limited time at UF. He made more than a few great plays when he was on the field as a frosh. Also i never said he would be a high draft pick, just that he would be eligible and could leave if he has a monster season.

Willis has first round talent. But one good season as a regular rotation guy is not going to let him slip into the 1st round, it would just get him drafted. At UF in his frosh year, he was really good but didn't get much in playing time. To get into the 1st round, he'll have to put up two good years without any off the field issues.

Maybe you guys are not reading what i am writing or making up words that are not there. NEVER SAID HE WOULD GO ROUND 1. Just said he would be draft eligible and with a monster season could declare.

In all honesty with today's CBA in the NFL a player not picked in round 1 has an easier road to the "next" contract which is the first big payoff. 1st rounders have a fifth year team option that can be exercised, anyone picked after round one is only 3-4 years......Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman are a few that comes to mind who had a quicker road to their first BIG payday

Here is his bio from his Frosh Season. I wouldn't say he was anything great that people are claiming just yet:

2014 (True Freshman, Florida): Played in eight games as a true freshman and recorded 14 total tackles…Also had two quarterback hurries…Forced a fumble in the Birmingham Bowl against ECU at the opponents one-yard line that was recovered by the Gators, preventing the Pirates from scoring…Recovered a fumble against Eastern Kentucky and the Gators scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession.

 

[millertime26]

It doesn't matter what grades he's in, 2016 will be his last year at Miami.

I also remember Brock Berlin was going to be better than Dorsey...

 

[Samson Doyo]

Wasn't Fairley a one year wonder?

Go Canes!

He will not need 2 years if he comes in puts up good numbers.

And we're giving you our opinion. Willis was kicked off of UF's team which gives him a big red flag. Having a monster season would make him draftable. But what we're saying is that he's going to need to put up consistent seasons of productivity. Having one good season in your collegiate career (remember he played a little his freshman season) doesn't give scouts much tape to work with.

As I said before, having one good season doesn't give scouts much tape to work with. Plus the fact that he got kicked out of UF is a huge red flag to the NFL. He'll need consistent seasons to show he's not a trouble maker as well. He'll get drafted, it just depends on where he gets drafted. Apparently some don't know how the NFL works. It's not rocket science. People act like elite/really productive d-linemen are non-existent.

Don't need two years of production. As somebody posted above nick fairley was one year wonder. Kevin white at west virginia had one huge year and was a top 10 pick in last year draft.

I'm not familiar with those two, were they ever kicked off a team?

Cam Newton....trouble maker 1 good year of film against any kind of comp. Nope there's not any "Seasons" of consistancy there, but he was drafted #1 overall. Someone mentioned Nic Fairly and Kevin White. 1 season of production and not "seasons" of production. There are MANY instances of a player shining for 1 year and getting drafted. Here's a better one for you partner JJ Watt. Do you need more examples or are arguably the Offensive and Defensive MVPs in the NFL enough?

This isn't the pre 2010's where seniors and very few Jrs are the only ones to get drafted. If you can show production at a high level you will get drafted. NFL is based on potential and what you can be.

Kryptonite being a homer lol if Willis has a big year he's gone

I don’t really wanna join this argument as i have no stake or side to it. Nick Fairley, Kevin White, and JJ Watt are solid examples.

However comparing Gerald Willis to Cam Newton is silly. Cam newton won the Heisman and a national championship showcasing nearly every desirable trait in a quarterback along the way. Also quarterback is the most valuable part of the team which allows for those situations to happen more often. Those situations are not anywhere close and would not be indicative at all for Willis to make the jump simply because Cam did and was successful

So if Willis plays DT and looks like the next Suh he won't get drafted top 10?
