Will Levis already has the ONE thing you can’t teach an NFL QB
Tennessee’s competitiveness rests solely on the young passer’s shoulders.
NASHVILLE — There is no question that quarterback Will Levis’ development is what the Tennessee Titans’ success ultimately hinges on. Heading into Year 2, Levis already has the one thing you cannot teach an NFL quarterback.
The former second-round draft choice consistently displays top tier toughness in the pocket.
“You can teach a lot of things, but you can’t teach guys that are just willing to stand there and deliver the football knowing that they are going to get hit,” NFL Films analyst Greg Cosell said of Levis. “That’s the NFL game. You’ve got to be able to play in what we call a dirty or a muddy pocket and (Levis) has no problem with that.”
Tennessee upgraded its roster talent around the young quarterback significantly this offseason.
Offensively, the team signed stud center Lloyd Cushenberry III, receiver Calvin Ridley and running back Tony Pollard to fit in new coach Brian Callahan’s scheme. The Titans used the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 draft on Alabama tackle JC Latham, who will start out rookie minicamp this week working on the left side. General manager Ran Carthon also reunited Callahan with former Cincinnati Bengals wide out Tyler Boyd, whom the team added on a one-year deal earlier this week.
The Kentucky product has been given nearly all the tools necessary to prove himself as the franchise’s future.
If Levis cannot get it done, Carthon and Co. have built a roster that would be easy to drop another quarterback prospect into.
