Making mistakes is part of life. We all make mistakes every day, minor or major, and find ways to correct those mistakes. It’s no different on the football field, especially for a young quarterback like Tennessee Titans’ QB Will Levis.
There’s no shame in making a mistake, but we have to learn from those mistakes to avoid making the same mistake twice. Levis spoke with reporters after practice on Wednesday to discuss how he recovers from mistakes and how he attempts to avoid making them again.

“I think it’s like when you’re given those tools to do those things for the first time, you can second-guess yourself pretty easily when you don’t have the background of doing it in your past,” Levis said. “But I think I have a good enough handle on it to know when things are messed up and what could possibly get us out of that situation.”
He discusses how head coach Brian Callahan does a great job of letting him know where specific issues lay on a given play and that he feels comfortable with the Titans’ catalog of plays in their pocket.
“I think game-plan-wise, Calli(Callahan) will do a great job, too, of letting me know what my issues are on that play. I think it will be more like a, ‘Hey, if we get this specific look on this, it’s not gonna work, let’s think about getting into something else.’ So having that catalog of things to get to based on whatever personnel is out there on the field, based on whatever the coverage we think it is, I think I feel comfortable with doing that, and I’m looking forward to getting to that point where it becomes more natural.”
Levis is doing all the right things as a young quarterback. He’s soaking up all the information everyone is feeding him and turning it into actual production on the field. The Titans have a lot to look forward to in 2024.
