Titans QB Will Levis Releases First Message For The Rest Of The NFL After Private Video LeakWill Levis (Screenshot Titans Press Conference)
Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis had a strong message for the rest of the NFL as he heads into his sophomore season.

Will Levis was projected to be a top-10 pick in last year’s 2023 NFL Draft, but the Kentucky product unexpectedly slipped out of the first round. Finally, he went 33rd overall to Tennessee after they traded up via the Arizona Cardinals.

The big-armed Levis started his rookie year behind veteran Ryan Tannehill but finished the season as Tennessee’s QB1. Levis went 3-6 with 1,808 passing yards and eight touchdowns against four interceptions.

During an interview with Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the second-year QB offered a powerful message about being motivated by those teams that passed on him a year ago:

“It definitely leaves a little bit of a chip on my shoulder and makes me want to go out there and work and keep showing people that teams might have made a mistake by not taking me. Hopefully I’m that guy that they talk about that did slip, and I can be that example for other kids that are in that same position in the green room like me.”

The only quarterbacks taken in the first round of last year’s draft were Bryce Young (first overall to the Carolina Panthers), CJ Stroud (second to the Houston Texans) and Anthony Richardson (fourth to the Indianapolis Colts). Levis himself was the only signal-caller drafted in round two.

Levis can take inspiration from longtime Green Bay Packer and current New York Jet Aaron Rodgers, who carved out a Hall of Fame career after shockingly falling to the Cheeseheads at No. 24 overall in 2005.

Titans Have Set Up Will Levis Nicely For Success In 2024

After firing head coach Mike Vrabel in a surprise move, the Titans hired Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan as their new HC, hoping his offensive genius can help unlock Levis’ potential.

With DeAndre Hopkins already in place, the Titans further bolstered their offense by signing former Jacksonville Jaguars star Calvin Ridley to a four-year deal worth $92 million. They also brought in former Bengals standout Tyler Boyd and two-time 1,000-yard rusher Tony Pollard, who will replace Derrick Henry as the RB1.

With three capable 1,000-yard receivers and a workhorse running back at his side, the piece are there for Levis to break out in 2024.

Harrison Butker Made An Embarrassing Taylor Swift Mistake That Could Make Things Even More Awkward

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker sparked controversy when delivering a commencement address at Benedictine College earlier this month.

During his speech to the private Catholic liberal arts college in Kansas, he suggested Pride Month was a “deadly sin,” condemned abortion rights, and informed women that they had “the most diabolical lies” told to them, which came after he quoted a Taylor Swift song earlier in his speech.

In his speech, Harrison Butker quoted the lyrics “familiarity breeds contempt” from Taylor Swift’s hit song “Bejeweled” from her album Midnights.

Taylor Swift’s fan base absolutely hated that he brought her up.

However, as social media user McKenzie Hopson David, a fan of Taylor Swift, notes, Harrison Butker did not seem to understand the meaning of the song when he cited the lyrics, as it did not align with the speech’s tone.

“I actually think that Harrison Butker quoting Taylor Swift in his dumpster fire of a speech is hilarious when you consider that the song he quoted (Bejeweled) is about a successful woman telling a mediocre man to step aside so she can shine,” David said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Following his remarks, Harrison faced substantial criticism from the public. The NFL also responded, declaring that Harrison’s opinions did not represent the organization’s values. On their personal social media profiles, many people have expressed their disapproval of the

 

commencement speech; however, women have started to make snarky remarks about their “abilities as a woman” directly on the Kansas City Chiefs’ Instagram account.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker did not apologize. Instead, he doubled down after coming under fire for controversial comments about women being homemakers, abortion, and other topics during a May 11 commencement speech.

Last Friday, Butker addressed the crowd at the Courage Under Fire gala in Nashville. It was held by the Catholic hybrid homeschooling organization Regina Caeli Academy.

In this new speech, Butker defended his commencement address at Benedictine College.

“If it wasn’t clear that the timeless Catholic values are hated by many, it is now,” Butker said, per CNN.
