Watch: Titans rookie QB Will Levis throws first TD of career
Tennessee Titans rookie QB Will Levis is surprising in his debut.
With 2:28 left in the first quarter, the former Kentucky Wildcat showed his arm strength, connecting with wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a 47-yard TD, the first of his career.
Many experts thought Levis would be a first-round pick; however, he fell to the second round, where the Titans selected him with the 33rd overall pick. Despite his draft-day slide, the 24-year-old has some upside thanks to his size (6-foot-4, 229 pounds) and ability to throw the ball downfield.
Tennessee QB Ryan Tannehill, who is sidelined with an ankle injury, is 35 and entering the final year of a four-year, $118M deal. So, the Titans must find their next franchise QB since Tannehill is entering the twilight of his career. It's a good sign for Tennessee fans that Levis is making big plays in his first game and flashing his potential.
