I take no shame in carrying the flag for San Francisco 49ers star rookie linebacker Patrick Willis. Being that I’m in the S.F. Bay Area, I get to see every Niners game and I can tell you guys without exaggeration, this kid will be a superstar in the NFL. I honestly don’t even see how he slipped down to number 11 in the draft.

I’ve mentioned him a few times on the site, but I figured I’d give him his own post, so I can resurrect this in 2 years to say “told ya so”. He already has the sickening raw physical tools, but with Mike Singletary working with him closely it’s almost unfair. He’s basically a defensive version of Adrian Peterson, to give you a little perspective.

Speaking of Purple Jesus, take a look at this video, when Adrian goes 1 on 1 with Patrick. (pause)

I got these from “The Truth” over at Yardbarker… funny stuff.
