Willis is faster than Sam Montgomery and quicker of the snap too.


No. Just. No. Montgomery ran a 4.88 at the combine (not one of his best times either). Willis is listed on 247 as a 5.16. Players aren't always bigger and faster with every new class, there's no reason to exaggerate this player's talents. He's a great HS player that projects to DT in college (even though he doesn't want to). He could play DE, but Chavis prefers smaller faster DEs. Willis, unless he stops growing, will probably be around 270 when he gets on campus at his college of choice. That's not LSU DE size.

It's not all about your 40 time as a DE bro. Willis has a very quick first step, great bend, and great 10 yard burst. He's being recruited as a DE, so the LSU coaches obviously think he can play there.

However, he is about 20 pounds away from being a DT, but who's to say he can't turn some fat into solid muscle, trim down a bit, and hover around the 260-270 range and be an all around DE? I will venture to say that's what the staff is envisioning for Gerald Willis

Dumb argument. I've watched every game multiple times. Montgomery was the slowest D linemen off the snap. Even slower than the D tackles. His motor made up for his lack of speed

Let me guess. 247 never gets anything wrong. Those measurements aren't always correct.

Brick Haley is the D line coach. He picks who plays.

What in height? To keep growing in weight he would have to keep trying to gain weight. You make it seem like no player ever has maintained their weight. Lots of players stay on eating plans to keep their current weight instead of gaining or losing pounds.

Really? Ever heard of a guy named Lavar Edwards. Played all 4 years at DE. Brick Haley picks the best player to play. Regardless if they weigh 260+ or 230.
