Will Levis’ contract details: Salary and years left with the Titans
The 25-year-old quarterback from Madison, CT, has played for the Titans for two seasons. Since then, he has thrown for 2,387 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Titans selected Will Levis in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-4-inch, 229-pound quarterback is a strong-armed leader who’s also good with plays from the pocket and determination as a runner.
As a rookie in 2023, Levis took the quarterback position midway through the season, starting 9 games and throwing for 1,808 yards with eight touchdowns for an 84.2 passer rating. A native of Madison, Conn., he spent two seasons at Kentucky after transferring from Penn State. Levis comes from a family of athletes. His great-grandfather, Alva Kelley, was an All-America football player at Cornell University who won the National Championship in 1939.
This season, Will Levis has a passer rating of 76.5 with 579 yards, 4 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions in 3 games. He is considered to be shouldering the heaviest burden for the Titans’ poor results (0-3) this year. This season is a far cry from his 84.2 passer rating, which was the second-best season in franchise history by a rookie quarterback. That number also ranked first in NFL history among second-round quarterbacks in their rookie season (minimum 200 attempts).
Levis has the second-most interceptions in the league. With 3 fumbles in addition to the 5 interceptions, he leads the NFL in turnovers. But coach Calahan will still keep him as a starter for their Monday Night Football clash against the Dolphins.
