Malik Willis and Will Levis are battling for the Tennessee Titans’ backup quarterback job, but it absolutely looks one signal-caller may perhaps very nicely be pulling away within the plug.
Willis, a 2022 third-spherical make a choice, “has confirmed to be an distinctive worker alongside with his whisper and dedication, incomes him reward from [Mike] Vrabel and nearly getting a nod as an offseason award winner,” Julian Basena of the Nashville Tennessean wrote.
Willis backed up Ryan Tannehill closing season and appeared in eight games, making three begins. He done 50.8 p.c of his passes for 276 yards and three interceptions, to boot to speeding for 123 yards and one touchdown.
Levis, within the intervening time, used to be selected within the second spherical of the 2023 draft out of Kentucky, where he had a solid 2022 campaign, completing 65.4 p.c of his passes for 2,406 yards and 19 touchdowns against 10 interceptions in 11 games.
Nevertheless whereas Levis used to be solid in faculty, that success would not repeatedly translate to the NFL, and or not it’s that you simply may perhaps perhaps imagine the Titans may perhaps perhaps opt to head with Willis as Tannehill’s backup this 365 days given his extra 365 days of ride.
