Will Levis says his current situation ‘sucks’ as he competes with Cam Ward to be Titans’ QB1

Will Levis clearly didn’t envision being in this position a year ago, but after a season that fell well below his and the Titans‘ expectations, the veteran quarterback now finds himself in a position battle with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward

Levis, who by all accounts has taken a professional approach to his current situation, recently acknowledged that his current predicament is far from ideal. 

“Anyone who’s every been in my situation would agree that it sucks,” Levis said, via Main Street Nashville. “I’m just trying to do the best I can to not let it affect me and just being the same dude every day in the building and being there for the guys however I can and just trying to get better every day.” 

Levis hasn’t let his disappointment impact his relationship with Ward, who has had nothing but good things to say about his new teammate. 

“He was one of the first ones to come up to me in the locker room, ready to compete and ready to get to work,” Ward said of his relationship with Levis. “It’s been exciting to work with somebody who has played in an actual NFL football game. So to be able to take a little advice from him, it’s been good.” 

Levis is largely in his current situation because of his continued struggles taking care of the ball, an issue that led to him falling to the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Levis seemed to have the issue somewhat under wraps as a rookie, throwing just four interceptions in nine games. But he regressed last year, tossing 12 picks 12 games as the Titans floundered through a 3-14 season. 

Instead of licking his wounds, Levis worked hard at his craft this offseason. He spent a considerable part of his offseason working on his mechanics with quarterback guru Jordan Palmer. Levis’ offseason work appears to have already paid dividends. 

“I’ve seen a lot of improvement, I really have,” said Titans coach Brian Callahan. “I think him making the decision to go put in the work down there with Jordan was really beneficial. I got a lot respect for Jordan. I think he’s got a good program. He knows what he’s doing. It’s good off-season work,” Callahan said. “I see a real improvement in his footwork and his base. His ability to control the football has improved. I’ve been really pleased with the work that he’s put in. He’s reacted really well to the room.”

As far as his “suck” comments, there’s no doubt that Levis’ situation isn’t great. That being said, many quarterbacks have had worse situations, especially Steve Young, who was force to sit behind future Hall of Famer Joe Montana for four years before he finally got his chance to start for the 49ers during his age-30 season. 

Like Levis, Young didn’t necessarily love playing behind Montana. In fact, Young loathed it and wasn’t afraid to publicly express his frustration. Young’s mentality changed, however, after he sat alongside author Stephen Covey, who wrote “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” After listening to Young vent about his situation, Covey told him that Young actually had an ideal situation in terms of maximizing his potential by taking advantage of the fact that he was playing alongside an legendary quarterback (Montana), a legendary coach (Bill Wash) and for the NFL’s best franchise. 

Covey’s insight instantly changed Young’s mindset towards his situation, and he responded by enjoying a Hall of Fame career that included a Super Bowl single-game record six touchdown passes in San Francisco’s Super Bowl win over the Chargers

Young found a way to overcome his obstacles. It’ll be interesting to see if Levis can author a similar story.

‘Ele Vai’: na despedida para o Mundial, Fluminense enfrenta o Internacional com Arias no auge

O Fluminense encara hoje o Internacional, no Beira-Rio, pela 11ª rodada do Brasileirão, no último compromisso antes da Copa do Mundo de Clubes, que começa dia 14 de junho, nos EUA. E, se o tricolor é um dos classificados para o primeiro “supermundial” da Fifa, muito se deve ao talento de John Arias. Melhor time em 2025 e referência técnica da equipe nas últimas temporadas, o colombiano de 27 anos nunca escondeu o sonho de atuar na Europa, mas a identificação com a camisa e a torcida tricolor falou mais alto até aqui. Por mais que tenha ficado chateado quando o clube recusou propostas do Velho Continente, o meia decidiu, após descartar a renovação em 2024, estender seu contrato em fevereiro deste ano até meados de 2028, tornando-se o atleta mais bem pago do elenco, com salário superando R$ 1,3 […]

Knicks vs. Pacers: Indiana stays true to itself to punch ticket to NBA Finals

INDIANAPOLIS — The temptation, after Tyrese Haliburton scored just eight points on seven shots in a disappointing Game 5 loss, was to call for the Indiana Pacers to adjust the sliders for Game 6 by overindexing on the kind of aggression that’s easy to see in the box score — to counteract the New York Knicks’ stepped-up ball pressure with hunted shots and hero ball.That’s not what Indiana head coach Rick Carlisle called for, though.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“As a team, we have to be aggressive, and we have to have a level of balance,” he said after Game 5.Which is to say: They needed to play Pacers basketball.The many-hands-make-light-work approach that has produced one of the NBA’s most potent offenses. The insistence on pipe-bursting full-court ball pressure that has made the Pacers one of the NBA’s most improved defenses. The commitment to running […]
