Due to an injury to Titans starter Ryan Tannehill, the ball was placed in Will Levis' hands ahead of an important game vs. the Atlanta Falcons, and Levis definitely capitalized on the opportunity.
Levis went 19/29 for 238 yards and four touchdowns with three of them going to Deandre Hopkins. With a lot of doubt surrounding him, after falling in the draft and getting injured in preseason he has definitely proven that he has the potential to be a franchise quarterback in the future as he led the Tennessee Titans to a 28-23 win this afternoon.
It is still up in the air whether Tannehill will return next week as the starter or if Will Levis will get another chance to start in his place. But Levis has for sure secured at least the backup job and is making a case to be the guy in Nashville some day. Here are all four of his passing touchdowns from his debut.
Proving people wrong is what Will did at Kentucky, and it's what he is doing now. Watching every team pick over him in the first round and now it's him making them pay for it.
He will have a chance to start on Thursday Night Football in another big game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We'll find out how the staff will plan to use him in the coming days.
