So, I read on twitter per Malik's twitter account that his pro-day is today. Anyone else thinking the same thing or know of anything different? I thought pro-day at LU was closer to the end of the month?

[ballcoach15]

I think Pro day is Tuesday. Today was just a video session or something.

[Dalegarz1]

I believe that his pro day is Thursday, March 24th.

According to this schedule, LU's Pro Day is Tuesday, March 22nd.

Very strange-when you type in search bar: "Malik Willis pro date" March 24th appears in bold print at top page. However, every link below that lists it as March 22nd.

I think NFL politely requested a change in dates to several schools due to too many top prospects scheduled for same day.

Falcons just traded Ryan to the Colts. Maybe they will be looking to Willis now.
Personally I'd like to see it. I live about an hour away from Atlanta and would love to be able to see him play.

Marcus Mariota is crtainly not the answer. Don't forget that Baker Mayfield is out there for the taking.

Has Malik said whether he is going to run/jump/lift tomorrow?

[Kricket]

I guess we will find out. NFL network has an hour long broadcast for Liberty's Pro Day. 1-2 PM.

This is a HUGE day for all LU programs. The NFL draws more eyes and ears than any other sport with the draft hype leading sports talk radio in every major market. I am in the Dallas market and the local sports stations are 80% NFL / Cowboys and 20% everything else. Liberty University will be common vernacular for the next 3 days and with the character of Willis on display, it will be a lasting imprint! Weather looks great, so the campus will pop as well.
Fan the Flames!

It's a huge day for all draft eligible guys with pro aspirations. Good chance someone else on the team makes an NFL squad or practice squad because of the attention Malik helped create.

If Malik decides to run, I would be surprised if it is not sub 4.6. He doesn't need to do it at all, but if he has been timed recently and knows he can put down a fast one, he may do it.

According to GMFB, he's not going to run today. He wants to keep the emphasis on his arm, pocket movement, and taking snaps from under center.

Probably a wise choice. I find the concern about taking snaps under center kind of silly. How many NFL teams actually do that?

It's certainly becoming less common. According to stats for the 2020 NFL season, the last for which they have full stats, 65% of the snaps were out of the shotgun and 35% were under center. If the play was a run, 69% of those snaps were from under center; if it was a pass, 75% of those snaps were out of the shotgun.

That...was...great!
I am not that old but man did I have the feeling of a proud dad watching his son shine in front of influential eyes. What a blessing Malik Willis is to LU and more importantly, the Kingdom of Christ! Loved hearing the stories of his infectious personality, humility and compassion for everyone around him. Traits of a believer. We need to pray that God continues to shine through Malik and his platform to boldly proclaim his faith. The temptations on him moving forward will be immense and the prayer warriors need to petition the Lord for his protection and wisdom.
So cool to see Malik shine!

Just watched Todd McShay from ESPN reporting from LU practice facility. In his words, Malik Willis, "Put on a Show"at his pro day. I had goose bumps watching the report! I hope he goes to the Steelers. My co-worker for 20 years is Mike Tomlin's mother-in-law and she has shared some things about him that make me believe it would be an awesome place for Malik to play. LU in prime time! As previously mentioned, no one carries the LU mission and values better that Malik. PTL!

[olldflame]

Looks like Kevin Shaa may have made himself some money today. 4.31 40 (unofficial) plus a 38" Vert. Put that with his tds and average ypc over the last couple of years, and it should get him in somebodies camp.

[Sly Fox]

The clip of the bomb he caught was shared at least a million or so times yesterday.

A lot of people speculating Falcons and Lions make a deal and Falcons take MW #1.
