All-time Ole Miss football great Patrick Willis this year became just the third Rebel in history inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He returned to his old Oxford stomping grounds on Thursday — holding a fan meet-and-greet and question-and-answer session at Back Nine on the Square.

“Home is where the heart is,” Willis said. “I can say that when I came to Ole Miss in 2003, and just my time here at Ole Miss, if I had to do it all over again, I would choose Ole Miss all over again.”
Willis is one of the most decorated defensive players in Ole Miss football history. He was a consensus All-American as a senior in 2006, when he also won the Butkus Award and Lambert Trophy as the nation’s best linebacker.
Willis twice led the SEC in tackles and was selected to the most first-team All-American squads (13) ever by a Rebel in a single season. He was a first-team All-American in 2005 and 2006 and two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year.
Willis was the 11th overall selection of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2007 NFL Draft and won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in his debut season. He played eight seasons and was named to seven Pro Bowls.
