Miami Dolphins' New Quarterback Malik Willis Faces High Expectations and Uncertainty

The Miami Dolphins have high hopes for their new quarterback, Malik Willis, who they signed to a three-year, $67 million contract. However, expectations are low for the team's performance in the 2026 season, with USA Today projecting them to finish 1-16. Despite this, there are reasons for optimism, including Willis' dynamic running and strong arm, as well as the team's young, hungry roster constructed by GM Jon-Eric Sullivan. Willis' lack of experience and the team's limited talent may lead to struggles, but a successful season could secure his place as the franchise quarterback. The Dolphins are also predicted to draft a quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft, with some analysts suggesting they could take Ohio State's Dante Moore or Oregon's Dante Moore.
