 Hey Malik, can you just kind of describe maybe what the last 24 hours have been like, the weight and maybe what you feel about your landing spot in Tennessee? Hey I'm just blessed to have somewhere to go, somewhere to call home. I'm appreciative of opportunity to play at the next level. I'm just ready to go in and work hard and just try to be the best teammate I can be. What kind of interactions did you have with the Titans Malik that made it feel like this might be the spot for you? I think all the times that I met with the team has been really good. I feel like it's been really cohesive and we got to know each other a little better. I know it's kind of hard to do that here in the draft process. The dude was just a short amount of time but I really think we clicked at the combine and you know after my pro day and every time we got a chance to meet so I'm definitely grateful. What about Ryan Tannehill and what do you imagine it'll be like getting to know him and kind of hashing out roles and everything? Hey man I'm just like I said I want to be the best teammate I can be. I want to come in and try to learn you know as much as I can from them, learn the offense and just keep getting better every day just so I could you know help the team in any way that you know they ask me to. What do you feel like your strengths are right now Malik as a quarterback and what do you hope to you know improve upon when you get to the NFL level here? I feel like I have lots of strengths and I have some weaknesses as well and I just want to continue to improve and get better so I can just you know play to my highest levels. Malik I know it hasn't been long since you got picked to be heard from any of your new teammates yet? Not as of yet but I hadn't gotten a chance to look at my phone so it's a little hectic right now but I'm appreciative if they reach out and I'll be glad. I know like I met Traylon at the combine so I guess I'll get inside of him. Mike Bravo has said that mobility is a big thing for quarterbacks because of how things are now is that something that you guys got to talk about did you bring that up like how you bring that to the table? We didn't get to talk much about that as yet we just been talking about you know me being a Titan and me being just super grateful and super blessed to be in this position. Did you stay in Vegas and what was it like not getting picked until maybe later in the third round just what was your patience level like for you just keeping the faith? Oh man I have faith man I have faith that God's gonna put me wherever he needs me to go so I just have to understand that I don't run things down here and he does so and he has a plan for me so I'm just appreciative that he put me somewhere where I feel like I can go and you know just get better. What do you think will allow you to be able to absorb a NFL playbook and process and do the things that you'll be asked to do as a quarterback? I feel like just being taught I mean I learned the college playbook before I got to college well or when I got to college so I feel like I can learn NFL playbook whenever I get to the NFL it's just about me putting in the time and effort more than anything. What do you feel like as far as your ability and what you bring to a locker room what do you think you bring to an NFL team what's the team getting in Malik Willis? Against somebody that loves the game and that loves his teammates I mean I just want to be the best guy I can be helping everybody get better as well as myself and I just want everybody to be the best they can be and I feel like when you care about your teammates that makes it a lot easier. Imagine it'll be difficult to be patient? Patient in what regard? In terms of getting the chance to be on the field again. Oh I mean understanding that it comes with it I mean Ryan Tenahill is a great player and he's a great leader for this organization so I just want to come in and you know just do all I can in order to get better at my craft and whenever that time comes for me to get on the field and that time will come but until then I'm just going to try to learn and be the best teammate I can be. Where are you now Malik and what was your celebration like when you were picked? I'm in Las Vegas right now Bowling Valley we had we had like ringing out this Bowling Valley so we didn't have to go back to the green room because I didn't have another suit. How many people in your party? It's like 100 people here. What was it like when you got the call? Definitely surreal I'm just appreciative that somebody you know you know took a shot on me so I can you know just be grateful and thankful and just want to keep getting better at what I'm doing and learn as much as I can. Malik how difficult has the last 24 hours been? Sir? How difficult has the last 24 hours been for you? I mean it hasn't really been difficult because at the end of the day when you don't have control over something it's not something you can really get mad at or it can't really be hard on you if you don't have control I mean all I can control is you know answering the phone whenever somebody feels like they have a you know opportunity for me so I'm just grateful to be here and I'm grateful to be you know a Tennessee Titan. Does that you know drop like that? Does it put any chip on your shoulder? I mean I always have a chip on my shoulder I mean I don't think that draft can put any more of a chip on my shoulder like it's you know it's cool it is what it is and God put me here for a reason so I'm not going to question it and I'm not going to try to you know be mad at anybody else for you know being where I am because I a lot of people wish they could be where I am so I'm just grateful for the opportunity man. Nice. Anyone else? What would you do today to kind of kill the time and wait for the night? Really I just laid around and my parents and stuff went to the mall and we had came bowling that's what we're trying to do we just try and keep our mind off of it because like I said you don't have any control I just try to keep my ringer on nice and loud. Did you bowl a few uh bowl a few rounds? Not yet I'm about to now I said I wasn't gonna bowl in the entire draft that took a while but it's it got happened I'm grateful for it. Do you think there's any limitations to what you could do system-wise or teams going to get anything out of you that it could get out of anybody? Yeah I mean all it takes is somebody being able to teach me I don't have to go learn the playbook just like anybody else I mean there's no you know the way I don't feel comfortable learning it I mean from what they taught me during the pre-jraft process and I feel like I retain the information pretty well and I had to understand another so it's just me going and putting in the work every day. Outside of Mike Gravel Malik who else on the Titans coaching staff did you meet with and have the opportunity to talk to? I'll talk with a few of them after uh after pro day and I'll talk with uh Coach Ray what when they call me and the GM and owner as well that's all. I think we're all done in here Kim if you want to. Yep we've just got two more Kayla Anderson. Hey Malik how you doing? Yeah how you doing? Good good so your uncle James Anderson played 11 seasons in the NFL I know he was on the other side of the ball as a defensive linebacker but I don't know if you know this he was also picked in the third round he was the 88th overall pick kind of crazy how similar that is but was he there tonight and have you picked his brain on what it needs to be a pro? He was here and he just let me know that it doesn't matter where you get picked it's about the words you put in it's about what you do every day and how much how good of a team that you are and how many people want to follow behind so he just let me know that he just left for the airport he's got to go home but uh he let he definitely instills some some nuggets that I need in order to go to this next level. Terry? Malik you're obviously a dual threat quarterback and that's kind of become much more in vogue over the past few years are there any guys in the league that maybe Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray Marcus Mario that maybe that you kind of model your game after as you were learning to play the position? I mean I try to you know learn some from everybody uh there's a lot of great players all over the place and I'm just appreciative to being the one where I get to go try to you know be more like those guys and you know it's just taking little pieces like Russell Wilson's D-ball like you know Tom Brady's anticipation and anticipation and check downs uh Lamar Jackson his elusiveness is just understanding what they add and uh how you can add that to your game.
