Green Bay Packers fans will see a new face under center this week as Jordan Love sits out with a knee injury. The team will be relying on backup quarterback Malik Willis, a recent addition to the team who will be making his first start for the Packers.

Willis, a third-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2022, has limited NFL experience. He played 11 games for the Titans, throwing for three interceptions and running for one touchdown in just 66 pass attempts.

While his time with the Titans didn’t showcase him as the “QB of the future” they hoped for, Willis remains a project with potential for development. The Packers acquired him this season, hoping he could learn behind Love and be ready for a future opportunity.

Now, that opportunity has arrived sooner than expected. Fans and analysts are wondering if Willis can deliver the kind of performance the Packers need to bounce back from their Week 1 loss. With a limited sample size and a steep learning curve, his performance against the Indianapolis Colts will be closely watched.
