Dolphins want Malik Willis focused on offense, not leadership, for now

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins want quarterback Malik Willis to be a leader as they embark on a rebuild under general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley -- they just don't need him to focus on that quite yet.

This week, the Dolphins began Phase 3 of their offseason program -- the culmination of the classroom and conditioning work they've been doing since April. These practices are centered around players learning a new scheme and re-learning certain fundamentals and techniques under a new staff, all while building chemistry with one another.
