Entering 2022, Will Levis was regarded as a top-three quarterback prospect in his class. NFL teams looked for Levis to improve in multiple facets of the game, including completion percentage, rushing, ability to win and elevate his teammates, and for Levis to reduce mistakes and interceptions. He did little to improve his draft stock in his final collegiate season at Kentucky in 2022, also acquiring a foot injury that caused him to miss the South Carolina game. Levis had the strongest arm in the 2023 draft class, but fell to the second round in the NFL Draft where he was selected by the Titans.
Levis started in Week 8 of his 2023 rookie season, replacing the injured Ryan Tannehill. The rookie threw for 238 yards and four touchdowns in his NFL debut and became the team's starter rest of season. He struggled rest of season, throwing multiple touchdowns in a game only once more in Week 11.
The Titans chose to move on from Mike Vrable after the 2023 season and hired Brian Callahan as their new head coach. The Titans made a number of additions to the offense as well including wide receiver Calvin Ridley and running back Tony Pollard. As a result, the Titans appear to be set on Levis as their starter for the 2024 season and have surrounded the young quarterback with talented players. With everything he needs to succeed, Levis will be expected to take a huge step forward this year.
