Shawn Willis brings veteran Oklahoma State backfield value and blocking muscle
In the 2005 season, Shawn Willis was a compact, physical Oklahoma State back who rushed for 89 yards on 17 carries and added pass-catching value, but his real edge was toughness and reliability in the dirty-work roles that keep drives alive[12][13]. He was widely described as a hard-hitting, effective blocker with veteran experience, which makes him more of a fit for a team that values pass protection, short-yardage grit, and assignment discipline than pure home-run speed[4].
