Senior receiver Corey Willis showed flashes of speed and ability during his junior season with the Central Michigan football team, leading the Chippewas in receptions, yards and touchdowns.

Those numbers earned him a spot on the All Mid-American Conference Second Team Offense. Willis averaged 83.9 yards per game in 2016 and looked to be one of former quarterback Cooper Rush’s favorite throwing options.
