headline = lots of hype

video = a good throw in shorts to a guy able to run under the ball

I think Willis will be the 1st qb taken. Teams cannot ignore his overall talent and skills. Him and Lance have done nothing in the NFL but have hype galore.

Patrick Mahomes gave a hint that he could take over the NFL at his Texas Tech pro day before the 2017 NFL Draft.

Mahomes, who played in an Air Raid offense in college that was not thought to translate to the NFL, was considered a first-round pick by the time the draft came but was not considered one of the elite quarterback prospects.

However, at his pro day, he reportedly wowed scouts with a series of throws, including an 80-yard Hail Mary that served as the grand finale.

Wes Welker, now a receivers coach with the San Francisco 49ers, was in attendance for Mahomes' pro day, at the time working with the Houston Texans. He told Sports Illustrated's Michael Rosenberg that when Mahomes' workout ended, scouts applauded. Welker, who was new to coaching, had to ask if that was normal. A scout told him it was not.

There are similarities ... hype train!

But every now and then doesnt a diamond appear in the rough?

I bet Willis is there at 11, I take a swing. I bet next year with Wentz under center our pick will be high teens or twenties. Willis could be the land the Wentz bridge brings us too.

Great story and yes they are. Willis and Lance could be great. Just too early too tell. If Lance gets the keys in SF this year, that will be interesting as they traded a lot to get him. No doubt the hype is real for both especially at the draft.
