Jonnu Smith defends Ryan Tannehill following comments on Malik Willis

Ryan Tannehill caught a ton of heat on social media after he said it wasn’t his job to mentor the Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback, Malik Willis.

“I don’t think it’s my job to mentor him,” Tannehill said, “but if he learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing.” Tannehill went on to say that he has no issues with Willis, while mentioning that the Titans will do what’s in the best interest of the team.

Willis out of Liberty was arguably the best quarterback in the draft, but there was a lack of need at the position among NFL teams this year. He’s expected to be a starter in the league in the near future and Tannehill can feel the level of competition he has in the locker room now.
