The Tennessee Titans are counting on second-year quarterback Will Levis to deliver the team back to postseason relevancy in 2024.
The Titans invested heavily in Levis' surroundings this offseason. General manager Ran Carthon went out and signed wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd. He also bolstered the offensive line by dishing out a four-year deal worth a whopping $50 million to center Lloyd Cushenberry and used the Titans' No. 7 overall draft pick on left tackle JC Latham.
Oh, and Titans moved on from Mike Vrabel and hired Brian Callahan as head coach and the man in charge of orchestrating a new-look offense in Tennessee.
There are still questions on the right side of the offensive line, but the Titans have made significant strides in creating a comfortable environment for Levis as he enters his first season as a full-time starter. So much so that Pro Football Focus recently named Levis to the All-Breakout Team for the 2024 season.
PFF listed one player at each position on the All-Breakout Team, so Levis has the quarterback position all to himself.
From PFF: Levis flashed some talent in his rookie campaign, recording three PFF game grades of 70.0 or higher. While he finished the year with only eight passing touchdowns, four of which came in his debut against the Atlanta Falcons, his 5.9% big-time throw rate was tied for the fifth among quarterbacks with 100 or more dropbacks.
It's easy to see why PFF makes this prognostication, too. Just look at what Callahan did with Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning last season. Browning, who filled in for the injured Joe Burrown in Cincinnati's final seven games, led the NFL by completing 70.4 percent of his passes. Browning went 4-3 in that stretch throwing 12 touchdowns to seven interceptions with two fourth-quarter comebacks.
Levis' talents far exceed those of Browning, but it's a fun comparison for Titans fans. If Callahan can turn Browning into one of the most accurate passers in the league, then perhaps Levis can improve upon his 58.4% completion percentage from 2023 without compromising his explosive throws downfield.
Levis' arm strength and deep ball accuracy gives Titans fans plenty to be excited about with legitimate weapons and a competent offensive staff now at his disposal. The Kentucky product has every tool necessary to breakout in 2024 and remind the football world that the Titans are not to be counted out.
