MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins have a new early riser, and his name is Malik Willis. Quarterbacks coach Bush Hamdan revealed that Willis is consistently the first player in the building and the last to leave, setting a tone of dedication that’s already turning heads around the facility.

Willis, who signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract to take the reins as Miami’s starter, is earning praise not just for his work ethic but for his raw talent. Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik didn’t hold back, describing Willis as a dynamic playmaker who can "spin the ball over the field" and deliver throws to every area of the field. "He can run, he’s tough, and he uses his legs effectively," Slowik said, adding that what’s impressed him most is Willis’s infectious energy. "He’s really fun to be around—he infuses everybody with a lot of energy."

For a Dolphins squad looking to build momentum, Willis’s arrival signals a fresh start at the quarterback position. His combination of leadership, arm strength, and mobility offers a tantalizing glimpse of what’s to come. As he continues to put in the work both on and off the field, Miami fans have plenty of reasons to be excited about their new signal-caller.
