Bet the Team Most Likely to Pick Malik Willis and the Payout Odds - 2022 NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers had been the early favorites to land Malik Willis in the 2022 NFL Draft, but that honor now belongs to the Pittsburgh Steelers, promising a payout of just shy of $200 on a $100 bet.

Willis played for the Liberty Flames as a quarterback. His career highlights and honors include 2020 Cure Bowl MVP, 2021 LendingTree Bowl MVP and the Dudley Award (2020).

Willis has said he doubts he'll fall past the Steelers' No. 20 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the update Tuesday on SportsCenter:

"The Steelers here is a team that a lot of executives are looking at, at No. 20 overall, as some potential movement in the quarterback chase. They say, look, 'They've been on the Pro Day circuit, they've done a ton of homework on all of these quarterbacks looking for a Ben Roethlisberger replacement long term.' Of course, they have Mitchell Trubisky, but Malik Willis I'm told believes that No. 20, that Steelers spot, is his floor. That he wouldn't fall past that based on what he knows of this draft process. That's how he feels everything has gone and so that could be a potential marriage if they want to stash a player like Willis for a year, let him develop behind the scenes."
