All afternoon, Mel Kiper Jr. wondered aloud on ESPN why Gerald Willis hadn’t been picked. For most of the third day of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Miami Hurricanes defensive tackle topped the Draft analyst’s list of best remaining players, yet he tumbled all the way through the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds Saturday.
Willis, who led the Atlantic Coast Conference in tackles for loss in 2018, will now have to find an NFL home as an undrafted free agent.
“I don’t get that one,” Kiper said at the end of the sixth round while Willis remained undrafted.
