Will Levis finds himself in a difficult spot with the Tennessee Titans after being drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft and starting 21 games in two seasons. Despite his early opportunity, the team managed only three wins with him at quarterback last year, which contributed to the Titans securing the first overall pick in the 2025 draft. Instead of reinforcing Levis’ position, new general manager Mike Borgonzi selected rookie quarterback Cam Ward as the presumed starter for the upcoming season.
Levis Addresses His Frustration and Remaining Committed
The signing of Ward signals a shift away from Levis, even though he remains under contract for two more seasons. Speaking publicly, Levis voiced frustration over the situation but emphasized his determination to stay positive and ready for action.
Anyone that’s ever been in my situation knows it sucks,
Levis said.
I’m just trying to do my best to keep a positive mindset and play QB when I’m asked to play.
This stance reveals his awareness of the challenge ahead while maintaining professionalism amid uncertainty.
The Titans’ Quarterback Competition Appears More Formal Than Real
Although head coach Brian Callahan has yet to officially name Cam Ward as the starting quarterback, the decision seems inevitable. Levis is unlikely to see significant playing time unless unexpected circumstances arise. The Titans open their season on the road against the Denver Broncos’ formidable defense, with hopes that Ward will be prepared to lead the offense. However, Levis remains the fallback option, ready if the team requires his services during the season.
