Three must-watch players in Titans’ first preseason game

Will Levis, quarterback

Tennessee traded up in the second round to grab Levis after a somewhat surprising fallout of the first round, and with no fifth-year option at their disposal, it would behoove the Titans to see as much of Levis as possible so they know exactly what they have in the 24-year-old rookie.

Levis has had some standout practices during camp, and his arm talent, command of the huddle and quick understanding of the offense and pre-snap positioning have caught the eye of head coach Mike Vrabel. Levis’ decision-making will likely be under a microscope as well, as the 6-foot-4 QB struggled with turnovers last year at the University of Kentucky.

Racey McMath, wide receiver

The top three receiver spots appear to be set with DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks and Kyle Phillips sitting at the top of the depth chart. However, the fourth and fifth receiver jobs appear to be up for grabs with McMath facing some stiff competition from Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Mason Kinsey, Chris Moore, Reggie Roberson and rookie Colton Dowell.

After missing 20 games over the last two seasons, McMath needs to start stringing together some strong performances together, not only to carve out a role for himself in the offense but to also preserve his spot on the 53-man roster. The Titans have too much interchangeability at receiver, and if McMath doesn’t start proving his worth, he could be an early camp casualty.
