Career NFL Statistics for Brayden Willis
With their seventh pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers have selected defensive end Brayden Willis out of Oklahoma State University. Willis, a Second-Team All-Big 12 selection in 2022, is a highly touted prospect with a track record of success at the collegiate level.
Willis, who stands at 6'4" and weighs 295 pounds, was a key contributor to the Oklahoma State Cowboys' defense during his time in college. In 2022, he recorded 45 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks. His athleticism and versatility make him a valuable addition to the 49ers' defensive line.
The 49ers are hoping that Willis can make an immediate impact on their defense. They lost several key players to free agency this offseason, including defensive end Nick Bosa. Willis has the potential to fill Bosa's shoes and become a pillar of the 49ers' defense for years to come.
