Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has been criticized by former NFL players for saying it isn’t his job to mentor 2022 third-round pick and quarterback Malik Willis.
“We’re competing against each other, we’re watching the same tape, we’re doing the same drills,” Tannehill explained. “I don’t think it’s my job to mentor him, but if he learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing.”
But former Titans and current New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith is defending his old quarterback, saying Tannehill is “one of the best teammates I’ve been around at any level,” while also saying he “learned a lot” from the veteran.
