Malik Willis and Ryan Tannehill appear to be off to a great start as teammates in Tennessee. However, Tannehill, who was the Titans’ 2021 starter, was not aware ahead of time that the franchise was selecting Willis in the ’22 NFL draft.
As a result, four days after Tennessee drafted the former Liberty star in the third round, Tannehill delivered some candid comments, saying he did not “think it was his job to mentor” the rookie. “...If [Willis] learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing,” Tannehill said.
However, when Willis spoke with reporters about his relationship with Tannehill currently, the two seem as though they are on one accord.
