Goldmine

Willis' position coach at Oklahoma was Joe John Finley, a former 49ers TE who played for the team from 2008-10. "The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Brayden is just that dog mentality. You come across a bunch of great football players in your life and one thing they all have in common is they all have that killer mentality. He took that into every part of his life, he was the hardest worker on the team, and he was a leader through his actions," Finley remarked when asked about Willis and his work ethic. "He wore out our jugs machine, I think he caught 10,000 balls the last two summers that he was here. And thats a lot of balls to catch over the summer in addition to all of those things we ask those guys to do, go to class, their workouts, and seven on seven, routes on air, all that good stuff. He actually caught 10,000 per summer which is unbelievable."
