A Tough Transition for Will Levis

In a dramatic twist for the Tennessee Titans, the team's quarterback landscape is shifting as No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward is set to take the reins starting Week 1. While this move has the franchise excited, it leaves last year’s second-round pick, Will Levis, in a challenging situation.

After starting 21 games over the last two seasons, Levis struggled to secure wins, contributing to the Titans' disappointing 3-14 record last season, ultimately leading to their top draft position this year. It’s a tough pill to swallow for the young signal-caller.

Levis Speaks Out on His Situation

Describing his current predicament as "sucky," Levis is quick to acknowledge the difficulty but remains focused on making the best of it. "Anyone who’s ever been in my situation would agree that it sucks," he stated, underscoring his disappointment but also his commitment to stay positive. "I’m just trying to be the same dude every day in the building and to support my teammates as much as I can."

Training Hard Amidst the Competition

To keep his skills sharp, Levis has been dedicating himself to improvement. He spent the last seven weeks training with private quarterbacks coach Jordan Palmer in California, where he worked on refining his technique and getting back to the basics. "I feel like it’s really paid off. I’ve been feeling good the last few weeks," he remarked, expressing optimism as he navigates this new chapter.

From Starter to Backup: A Mindset Shift

Levis is preparing to transition from starter to backup for the first time since his days at Penn State in 2020. Despite the change, he’s determined not to let it derail his mindset. "I don’t plan on shifting my mindset, regardless of what the situation is," he declared, vowing to be ready to step in whenever needed.

Supportive of His New Teammate

In a show of sportsmanship, Levis isn’t harboring resentment towards Ward. Instead, he’s eager to help out his new teammate. "He’s been great,” Levis said, praising Ward’s intelligence and athletic ability. “I’m here for him whenever I can be. We’ve been able to discuss the plays we’re going through and I’m learning from his perspective too."

With a positive attitude and a willingness to support his teammates, Will Levis is ready to tackle whatever challenges lie ahead, proving that he’s more than just a backup.
