Continuing, Will Levis is entering a crowded quarterback room with Ryan Tannehill and Malik Willis, but he’s simply ready to just do whatever he can to help the Titans win.
“I’m just ready to learn. I want to learn as much as I can from them, and be the best teammate that I can be,” the freshly-minted Titans signal caller stated. “I’m going in there to compete for sure, but I mean, they have a lot more experience than I have in the NFL, and I just want to learn from them and do whatever I can to help the team win.”
While the draft situation was far from ideal, Levis had some lessons he learned from the experience. He’s elated to be with the Titans.
“I mean, just to be yourself,” explained Levis. “You want to make a connection with the team. So that they believe in you for who you are, as a player and a person.
“I definitely feel like I found that with the Tennessee Titans. Very grateful to be a part of such an excellent organization.”

“I think that regardless of if I went first overall or in the second round that my work ethic wouldn’t change,” added Levis. “Circumstances can’t affect how you approach situations like that. Happy for all the dudes who went in the first round. Something that I would’ve liked to happen but I feel like I ended up exactly where I need to be. Where I was meant to be, and just looking forward to getting to work.”
