Titans rookie Will Levis has been named the starting quarterback moving forward this season, with Ryan Tannehill officially benched.
Levis, a 2nd round pick in this year’s NFL Draft, showed his talent and potential through two starts this season. He stepped up for the Titans in Week 8 against the Falcons, with four touchdowns and no interceptions, securing a 28-23 win.

Although the following game against the Steelers ended in a close loss, Levis displayed poise that Ryan Tannehill’s didn’t this season.
Vrabel told media, “We’re going to go with Will. We think that’s the best opportunity for our football team right now and see where he’s at.”
Levis was the fourth quarterback drafted, after the struggling Bryce Young went 1st overall to the Panthers, star C.J. Stroud went 2nd overall to the Texans, and the now injured Anthony Richardson going 4th overall to the Colts.
So far, Levis has racked up 500 passing yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. The Titans take on the Buccaneers in Week 10.
