The Tennessee Titans headed into training camp knowing Will Levis was their starting quarterback. Every move Tennessee made in the offseason, from hiring head coach Brian Callahan to signing receivers Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd in free agency to upgrading the offensive line, the Titans are all-in on Levis.
A new regime also meant that Tennessee would likely look for a different backup quarterback. Malik Willis struggled during his first two seasons, and neither the current general manager (Ran Carthon) nor Callahan drafted him.
Another move Tennessee made was signing veteran quarterback Mason Rudolph. Rudolph gave the Titans some protection in case Levis was injured or struggled. Rudolph started 13 games throughout five seasons in Pittsburgh.
While it appeared Tennessee signed Rudolph as a backup, Callahan made it clear that Rudolph and Willis were competing for the job. The two have played well this summer, but Rudolph has certainly looked like the experienced veteran.
How have all three quarterbacks performed in training camp?
Jim Wyatt of Titans Online was present every day of training camp and has the final stats for all three quarterbacks during team periods, 7-on-7 drills, and the two joint practices with the Seahawks.
Will Levis – 159-of-245 overall (64.9%), with 8 interceptions (53-of-76 in 7-on-7, 106-of-169 in team periods)
Mason Rudolph – 125-of-157 overall (79.6%), with 2 interceptions (38-of-47 in 7-on-7, 87-of-110 in team periods)
Malik Willis – 90-of-139 overall (64.7%), with 4 interceptions (29-of-45 in 7-on-7, 61-of-91 in team periods)
It’s important to note that Levis often went against Tennessee’s first-team defense.
A quick look at Levis’s stats shows eight interceptions. However, it’s important to remember that Levis is entering his second NFL season with nine career starts.
