Auburn freshman QB Malik Willis getting pointers from Mike Vick

Auburn quarterback Malik Willis spent part of Memorial Day weekend receiving tutelage from a former NFL star.

On Monday, Willis — who is from the Atlanta area — shared a photo of himself speaking with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, saying he was being “coached up” by Vick at the “V7 Elite Playmakers Showcase” in Atlanta.

Willis seems likely to enter the season as Auburn’s third-string quarterback after a solid spring following his early enrollment; his spring performance likely was one of the reasons quarterback Woody Barrett transferred from Auburn after spring practice.
