Two years ago, Will Levis found himself in the NFL draft in the NFL, after once rumored to be a possible # 2 overall election. Instead, he was chosen in the second round, which got awkward moments in the draft of green space.
Today, Levis finds out a starter job after his Tennessee Titans chose Cam Ward with the first overall choice.
It is a less than ideal situation for the third -year quarterback that once thought he would be the future of the franchise.

“Anyone who has ever been in my situation would agree that it sucks,” said Levis Wednesday, Via Main Street Nashville.
But the chin remains up and the mentality remains the same.
“I’m just trying to do the best I can to not let it affect me and just be the same guy every day in the building and be there for the guys, but I can and just try to get better every day,” Levis said.

Despite a new role, Levis plans to treat every day, as he has done in the last few years.
“I haven’t been a backup in a while, but I don’t plan to change my thinking no matter what the situation is,” he said. “I just want to be ready to play quarterback when my name is called.”
Levis showed early promise and threw four touchdowns in his NFL debut. But all in all, it’s been less than the stars. In 21 games he has a 5-16 record and has thrown himself for 3,899 yards and 21 touchdowns against 16 interceptions. He has completed only 61% of his passports.

Levis turns out to be the favorite to win the backup job against Tim Boyle and Brandon Allen.
