Perhaps the biggest reason fans were especially excited about this year’s NFL Draft was the crop of potential-laden quarterbacks it has boasted.
Bryce Young of Alabama and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud went in the first two picks, while Anthony Richardson from the University of Florida was the No. 4 pick.
Will Levis of Kentucky was seemingly a distant fourth in terms of how he was ranked as a QB prospect, but he was still expected to go pretty high in the first round.
However, when day one of the draft ended, Levis was still available on the board.
He ended up being the No. 33 pick by the Tennessee Titans after the Titans traded up with the Houston Texans to acquire that pick.
With the No. 33 overall pick in the 2023 @NFLDraft, the @Titans select Will Levis!

This fan feels bad for Malik Willis, who was a rookie QB for the Titans last season.

This Colts fan likes the pick, and now he wants the Titans to trade their best player in order to help his team out.
Thank You Titans! Okay now please trade Henry and we are all set

Levis collected 2,406 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns last season a year after going for 2,826 passing yards and 24 touchdown passes.
Although he lost 107 yards on the ground in 2022, he did manage to run for 376 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021.
The Titans had to endure a down year from their incumbent QB, Ryan Tannehill, who showed his age by throwing for just 2,536 yards and 13 touchdowns.
They won just seven games in 2022, and with the AFC looking even tougher than last season, their odds of returning to the playoffs don’t look great right now.
