Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis went through an awkward situation during his NFL draft process in 2022 that sounds like it was straight out of a Netflix series.
On Wednesday, Arif Hasan published a story about the fall of The Draft Network, an NFL draft website that quickly rose to prominence before crashing due to some bad decisions.
(You can read Hasan's full report here. It's a wild ride.)
At one point in the story, Hasan details a house that The Draft Network rented in Las Vegas for the company to use to prepare for the 2022 NFL Draft.
The house was actually a "porn house".
"The 'draft house' - reserved with the intent of hosting well-produced video content - was curated specifically to attract and be rented out to sex workers," wrote Hasan. "The rooms were filled with pornography, the closets were packed with sex toys."
According to Hasan's story, Willis visited the location for an interview before employees could clean up the house and make it presentable. As a result, the employees had to comically keep Willis from entering certain portions of the "porn house" to avoid what would've obviously been an awkward situation.
From Wideleft.football: Employees were forced to hastily clean up the house and make it presentable before draft prospects arrived for interviews. They ended up having to make a run to a Party City in order to hang cloth to cover up sexually explicit murals.
They were on a pretty tight deadline - Liberty quarterback Malik Willis was scheduled to show up very soon after they had set up.
Unfortunately for them, Willis had arrived early and they had to quarantine him to a section of the house that they had effectively sanitized while they worked on the rest of the property.
There was even a moment of alarm when Willis expressed he had to go to the bathroom. "We were like, 'we'll walk you there,'" said one employee. "We were afraid he would open the wrong door and find all these sex toys."
What a bizarre situation.
One big question, as far as Willis is concerned, is whether not the former Liberty standout ever found out what the house he visited was really used for.
Either way, that has to qualify as the most bizarre situation that Willis experienced during the draft process.
