Now that's the ultimate vote of confidence. Whether or not it's the case, only time will tell. Singletary was one of the greats, winning a Super Bowl win during a spectacular 12-year career with the Chicago Bears. Willis is all of 24, a third-year pro on the rise who is quickly showing he's a game-changing defender with his speed, explosiveness and grit. "He doesn't come right out and say it but he sometimes tells me that if I continue to work and continue to be humble and continue to believe and do things right, then I can be one of the elite linebackers to ever play," Willis said. "To hear that from him means a lot, because he's a Hall of Fame guy." Some of Willis' teammates see him as a young Ray Lewis, another nice ego boost for an emerging star. Willis was a menacing presence all over the field in San Francisco's 35-0 rout of St. Louis last Sunday, the 49ers' first shutout in 119 games since Jan. 6, 2002. He's the heart of a defense largely to credit for San Francisco's spot atop the NFC West standings. The 49ers are off to their best start since capturing the division in '02, their last winning season. "He can be better than me. He's an athlete," Singletary said. "I wasn't a 4.3 (40-yard dash) athlete. That's special." Against the Rams, Willis had eight tackles - five solo and three for loss - 2 1/2 sacks against fill-in starter Kyle Boller, and a 23-yard interception return for a touchdown. "Today was just a day where you just say, 'Wow,"' Willis said afterward, crediting the entire defense in his modest and unassuming way. That touchdown? Well, Singletary didn't have many of those. "Not an interception returned for a touchdown," the coach said. "Those didn't come very often for me. Hands like rocks."
