Is Patrick Willis for real?

This guy looks good. If it wasn't for him the whole 49er team would fal apart considering they have no offense. Will he last around as one of the elite linebackers? Thoughts?

i agree with rookie of the year but only because peterson got hurt...willis is a hell of playergamegod

There's offensive and defensive rookie of the year. Peterson shoo-in for Offensive, Willis for defensive.

Of course the guy's for real. He leads the league in tackles amd just last week he held Adrian Petterson for only 13 yards. I may be biased, but I think the guy deserves Rookie of the Year. 8)Renegade_Fury

Yo Fury, it was 3 yards and yes, Willis should be rook of the year.

I agree for ROTY because in a head to head matchup Willis stuck him! AND WillisPLAYED HURT. He wore a cast on a broken hand for 3 weeks and still leads the NFL in tackles. THE NFL! Not just rookies, but the entire league.

When is the last time a rookie lead the leage in tackles? What, DeMeco Ryans?

But Chester Taylor went for over 100. I like Willis' chances of becoming one of thebest LBs in this league, but you can't just look at certain stats.

He seems to do just about everything well and with it only being his first year, I can only see HUGE potential for the kid. He's quick, big, and has solid hands when they aren't in casts.

He's second in the league in tackles, but yeah he's disappeared.

He's going to the pro bowl... ROTY first year, pro bowl next. Pretty good career so far I'd say.
