NFL rumors: Tennessee Titans are bringing in Will Levis for a top-30 visit
There could be upwards of five quarterbacks going in the first round, including four inside of the top 10. No signal-caller’s draft stock has taken a bigger beating in this vicinity than Kentucky’s Will Levis. Although he could go as high as No. 4 to the Indianapolis Colts, he could fall all the way down to the Minnesota Vikings in the 20s. For now, Levis is visiting with the Tennessee Titans.
By bringing in Levis on Tuesday, the Titans are doing their due diligence on all the possible permutations the draft could offer. They are probably in the range to draft Levis at his fair value, or potentially reach on former Tennessee Volunteers star Hendon Hooker at No. 11. Hooker would be the more popular pick for obvious reasons, but Levis could find success playing over in Nashville.
He has the arm talent of former Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler, as well as the personality. While Levis to the Titans does reek of Jake Locker vibes, he will probably be better for them than Zach Mettenberger. It really comes down to if he jives with head coach Mike Vrabel and new general manager Ran Carthon. Levis is not for everyone, but the Titans are a better fit for him than most.
The big takeaway in all this is Tennessee is not expecting much out of Ryan Tannehill anymore.
