Malik Willis, once part of the Tennessee Titans, has made a significant impact since his trade to the Green Bay Packers. After spending last season on the Titans' roster without much success, he stepped in as a starter for an injured Jordan Love in 2024 and led the Packers to victory in five of his seven games. Titans coach Brian Callahan expressed his surprise and pride at Willis's improvement, noting that he had shown significant growth during his time with the Titans. Callahan praised Willis's character and competitive spirit, emphasizing that the decision to trade him was strategic rather than personal.

The Titans are now at a crossroads with their quarterback situation, contemplating the selection of another QB with the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, further solidifying their decision to move forward without Willis. Callahan highlighted this tough decision but remains optimistic about the future of both teams as they navigate their respective paths.
