Overview
- Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Tuesday that Malik Willis can "spin the ball all over the field" and brings an upbeat energy that lifts the room.
- Quarterbacks coach Bush Hamdan praised Willis's work habits, saying he is first to arrive and last to leave, and called his leadership authentic.
- Slowik outlined a balanced attack that keeps core fundamentals, noting Willis's legs make defenses play 11-on-11 but that designed QB runs will be limited.
- Miami committed three years and $67.5 million to Willis as part of a reset under coach Jeff Hafley and GM Jon-Eric Sullivan after moving on from Tua Tagovailoa.
- Outside evaluations remain cautious, with CBS ranking the Dolphins' quarterbacks sixth-worst entering 2026 as Willis has only six career starts.
