Titans Fans Have Many Reasons To Be Excited For Will Levis
Will Levis Is Giving The Titans Reason To Be Hopeful
Last season the Titans got a polarizing look at Will Levis. His first game as the Titans quarterback came in week 4 against the Falcons. He threw for a record 4 touchdowns, 238 yards, and recorded a 130.5 passer rating. The following 2 weeks he threw 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. In the Titans season finale against the Jaguars, he threw for 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions with a passer rating of 143.7.
Will Levis Sure Got Miami's Attention
No one in Miami will forget Levis anytime soon. He made clutch plays in the fourth quarter of the December 11th matchup between the Titans and Dolphins and rallied the Titans to a victory. He finished that game with 23 completions on 38 attempts for 327 yards. He only scored one touchdown and did throw an interception early in the game.
The Overall Look
The former Kentucky Wildcat finished the season with 149 completions on 255 attempts (58.4%), 1,808 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. He was also sacked 28 times and fumbled the ball 7 times. Those are still good numbers for a rookie who played only 9 games.
Will Levis Is A Natural Leader
When Levis broke out in his first game, Jeffery Simmons could be heard saying "That's a quarterback." DeAndre Hopkins seems impressed with how Levis earned the respect of his teammates right from the start. Simmons' comment and Hopkins' chemistry with Levis speak volumes about his leadership and presence on the team. His ability to take command and lead the team shows great promise for his future with the Titans.
The Kid Is Just A Winner
Earlier in February, Will Levis played in the Battle of the Paddles table tennis tournament at the Super Bowl and beat Trevor Lawrence with authority 15 to 8. He also played in a celebrity poker tournament and placed 6th out of 73 participants. This shows a desire to compete and a determination to win in all forms of competition.
The Titans Have Done Everything They Can To Help Him Succeed
The Titans were not shy about spending this offseason. They signed Lloyd Cushenberry, Calvin Ridley, Tyler Boyd, Saahdiq Charles, and Leroy Watson. They also drafted Alabama tackle JC Latham and Tulane receiver Jah’Quan Jackson. This is a huge upgrade for both positions.
The Coaching Staff Fits What He Does Best
Brian Callahan has been known in the NFL for having the type of offense that caters to big-armed quarterbacks. Will Levis had an average airtime of 7.1 yards past the line of scrimmage. That ranks in the top 5 of all the quarterbacks in the NFL.
There are many reasons to be excited as a Titans fan this year, especially considering what Levis could accomplish. The hope is that he will live up to Titans fan's high expectations.
