Willis played the last two seasons for Inexperienced Bay Packers, whose head coach, Matt LaFleur, is original Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur’s older brother. New Cardinals offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett was on Inexperienced Bay’s staff last season.
Willis is engaging however dangerous. He started trhee games over the last two seasons for the Packers and went 2-1. He threw six touchdown passes with out an interception and also rushed for another three ratings.
Nonetheless, he has simplest started six games in four NFL seasons. It reminds folks of quarterbacks adore Kevin Kolb and Matt Flynn, two backups who did no longer kill up to be anything when given starting alternatives with other teams (Kolb coming to the Cardinals in 2011 and lasting simplest two damage-riddled seasons).
