Saints DB hopes Titans’ Malik Willis takes Ryan Tannehill’s job

We’ve seen all sorts of reactions from both current and former NFL players when it comes to Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill saying it isn’t his job to mentor 2022 third-round pick and signal-caller, Malik Willis.

Several former NFL players weighed-in, with some criticizing Tannehill for being a bad teammate. However, Tannehill’s former teammate and New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith actually came to the veteran’s defense.

“It’s a highly competitive league folks. I’m sure lil homie [Malik Willis] know that and if he didn’t then he doesn’t belong,” Smith wrote on Twitter. “Ryan [Tannehill] one of the best teammates I’ve been around at any level and he didn’t ‘mentor’ me but I dam sure learned a lot from him.”
