Wills was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft as the No. 10 overall pick. He spent three seasons with the Browns before becoming a free agent. He has dealt with a knee injury in the past and struggled with the injured knee during the 2024 season and was placed on injury reserve.

The Kentucky native is now a free agent, but there are teams showing interest in him, per Schultz.
