Titans Rookie Will Levis Expected to Make NFL Debut as Starting Quarterback
Nashville, TN – Excitement is building among Tennessee Titans fans as rookie quarterback Will Levis is poised to make his highly-anticipated NFL debut this Sunday. With starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill nursing an ankle injury, Titans’ coach Mike Vrabel is reportedly preparing for Levis to take the helm against the Atlanta Falcons.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Levis is expected to start Sunday’s game, with Tannehill’s availability uncertain due to his injured ankle. “Levis and Malik Willis will likely play if Tannehill can’t,” Rapoport revealed. While Vrabel hinted at the possibility of both backup quarterbacks seeing action, it was not confirmed until now that Levis has moved ahead of Willis on the depth chart.
Having already showcased his skills in two relief appearances this season, Willis had initially been the frontrunner to step in for Tannehill. However, Levis’ standout performances in training camp and his impressive potential as a top prospect led to his promotion as the team’s starting quarterback.
Levis, who was viewed as a potential Top 5 draft pick this year, shocked many when he slipped to the Titans as the 33rd overall pick in the second round. The team, however, saw this as an opportunity and wasted no time in securing the talented prospect.
Now, the rookie quarterback will have the chance to prove himself on the big stage. Titans’ fans have been eagerly awaiting Levis’ debut, and the coaching staff seems confident in his abilities as they entrust him with the responsibility of leading the team’s offense.
Levis’ athleticism, strong arm, and exceptional decision-making skills have already impressed his teammates and coaches alike, making him a promising candidate to excel at the professional level. The Titans’ organization believes the young quarterback has what it takes to fill in seamlessly for Tannehill, showcasing his readiness to play at the highest level of football.
As Sunday approaches, the Titans’ faithful are eagerly anticipating Levis’ long-awaited debut. All eyes will be on the rookie sensation as he takes his first snaps under center, hoping that he can provide a spark to keep the team’s playoff hopes alive.
Only time will tell if Levis can rise to the occasion, but one thing is for certain – the Titans’ rookie quarterback has an opportunity to make a lasting impact and cement his place in the NFL.
