One of the burning questions before the draft was who would go higher, Kenny Pickett or Malik Willis? These were just two key quarterbacks from this year’s draft class, and now we have the answer, but it’s pretty surprising.
Kenny Pickett was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers with his 20th pick in the first round. Twitter went wild after the first day of the draft, considering Malik Willis’ name was nowhere to be heard. Both quarterbacks were expected to prepare themselves in the first round. No one has ever seen Willis fall this far back.
NFL fans shocked to see Malik Willis selected so late in the draft
Not many teams in the league, like the Seattle Seahawks, have good starting quarterbacks, which has left fans baffled as to why they didn’t catch the QB in the first round. The Bucs were another team that could have picked a quarterback, acknowledging that the team has Brady, but his future is uncertain and picking a GOAT-trained quarterback is something any front office would wish for.
It goes without saying that it wasn’t just Twitter users who were surprised, Malik Willis didn’t even prepare a suit for day 2 of the NFL draft because he was sure he’d be picked on day 1. The second night of the draft was drafted to celebrate him.
These are some of the best Twitter responses to Willis’ election at 86.
