Patrick Willis’ short but impactful career leads him to Hall of Fame
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — From the day he stepped into the NFL until a foot injury forced him into retirement after eight brilliant seasons as a do-everything linebacker, Patrick Willis succeeded at the highest level. “He just came to work every single day,” said NaVorro Bowman, who was Willis’ running mate at linebacker in San Francisco after being drafted in 2010. That’s what made him a Hall of Famer.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, a star linebacker himself during Willis’ time in the NFL, has said that he used to study film of Willis during his time as a player to become a better tackler, calling Willis’ selection to the Hall a “no-brainer.” Willis’ high standard still sets the way for the 49ers a decade after he retired.
