Patrick Willis Dominates the Rams

Patrick Willis Dominates the Rams

Under Armour's Patrick Willis was all over the field yesterday, leading his San Francisco 49ers to a commanding 35-0 victory over the St. Louis Rams.

Willis had 2.5 sacks and capped his day with a thrilling interception return for a touchdown, the second of his sure to be illustrious NFL career.

After the game, Willis' coach, Mike Singletary (regarded as one of the best players at Willis' position, middle linebacker) praised his defensive captain, saying that he could end up better than Singletary himself was before its all said and done.

Media outlets throughout the country have used yesterday's performance to strengthen the argument that Willis is following in the footsteps of many great middle linebackers, including fellow Under Armour athlete Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens, who many view as the best current player at the postion.

Always the team player, Willis refused to focus on his individual achievements after the game, instead focusing on the play of his entire defensive unit and stressing to the press that their goal is to become the top defense in the NFL.

Patrick is also known for being a great student in the film room, and in typical Willis fashion, he will put yesterday's accomplishments aside and immediately begin studying for a tough opponent next week in the Atlanta Falcons.
