3. Kansas State DE Jordan Willis
The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year continues to rise up NFL Draft boards, and for good reason. Not only are his stats impressive, but he’s as high a character guy as you will find, with Bill Snyder calling him “the epitome” of Kansas State football. He has good strength, strong hands and his 4.53 40-yard dash was outstanding. Some scouts argue he isn’t creative enough as a pass rusher, but Willis is going to find work in either a 4-3 or 3-4 scheme.
