Will Levis says losing Titans' starting job to Cam Ward 'sucks,' but he's staying positive
Two years ago, Will Levis found himself falling in the NFL Draft after once being rumored to be a possible No. 2 overall pick. Instead, he was selected in the second round, prompting awkward moments in the draft green room.
Today, Levis finds himself out of a starter's job after his Tennessee Titans selected Cam Ward with the first overall pick.
It is a less than ideal situation for the third-year quarterback who once thought he would be the future of the franchise.
"Anyone who's ever been in my situation would agree that it sucks," Levis said Wednesday, via Main Street Nashville.
But the chin stays up, and the mentality stays the same.
"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 said.
Despite a new role, Levis plans on treating every day like he has in the last few years.
"I haven't been a backup in a while, but I don't plan on shifting my mindset, regardless of what the situation is," he said. "I'm just going to be ready to play quarterback whenever my name is called."
Levis showed promise early on, throwing four touchdowns in his NFL debut. But, overall, it's been less than stellar. In 21 games, he has a 5-16 record and has thrown for 3,899 yards and 21 touchdowns against 16 interceptions. He's completed just 61% of his passes.
Levis figures to be the favorite to win the backup job against Tim Boyle and Brandon Allen.

Morgan Stanley Raises NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)'s Stock Price Target to $170, Maintains Overweight Rating
On Thursday, Morgan Stanley lifted NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s stock price target to $170 from $160, while maintaining an Overweight rating for its shares. A close-up of a colorful high-end graphics card being plugged in to a gaming computer. The firm's analyst expressed optimism about the company's outlook, which stems from several factors. The risks associated with NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s shipments to China appear to have been mitigated. Customers' feedback indicates robust demand for the company's new technologies, leaving room for further growth in demand. Morgan Stanley's confidence in sustained high demand for NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s products has resulted in a 6% increase in the stock's price target, suggesting that their earlier estimates were conservative. The revision follows NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s announcement of Q1 FY26 results on May 28, in which the company reported better-than-anticipated earnings and revenue, driven by its booming data center business, recording a 73% year-over-year growth in revenue. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s shares surged 5% in extended trading with investors encouraged by the news that sales hit from China export restrictions were not as bad as feared, as customers stockpiled the chips before the curbs took effect. However, the ongoing restrictions are expected to impact revenue by about $8 billion in Q2. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
