Malik Willis Installed as Miami’s Projected Starter After Green Bay Coaching Shift

Signed to a multi-year deal and trimmed QB depth, the Dolphins will use live games to see if Packers coaching changed Willis’ inconsistency.

Overview

  • The Miami Dolphins signed Malik Willis to a multi-year contract and have structured their quarterback room in ways that signal they expect him to start this season.
  • Miami moved on from Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller and added Kyle McCord and Brady Cook as backups, a sequence of roster moves reporters say reflects organizational confidence in Willis.
  • Willis says his two seasons in Green Bay under Matt LaFleur taught him to play on time, stay within the offense and accept accountability instead of forcing plays.
  • Packers coach Matt LaFleur publicly noted Willis’ improved passing accuracy, especially on deep throws, and that coaching helped reshape his approach.
  • Outside evaluators call Willis unproven and say preseason and early regular-season reps will be the decisive test of whether coaching-driven gains translate to consistent starter-level play, and Willis has said he prefers a low public profile after football.
