MIAMI GARDENS — Miami Dolphins coaches say they have been as impressed with Malik Willis' leadership as his arm strength and athleticism.

"I just feel he's always the first one in the building, the last one to leave," Dolphins quarterbacks coach Bush Hamdan told a small group of local reporters. "I think certainly already in the community, he's normally the one pushing to do the right thing."

The Dolphins signed Willis to a 3-year, $67.5 million contract to be their starter.

"Really talented individual," Dolphins offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik told a small group of local reporters. "Can spin the ball over the field, can throw the ball everywhere, can run, obviously can use his legs, he's tough. But honestly, what I've enjoyed the most so far is getting to know him. The person is really fun to be around, really energetic. He infuses everybody with a lot of energy."
