For the first time since the Tennessee Titans drafted quarterback Malik Willis in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft, quarterback Ryan Tannehill touched on the selection of the Liberty signal-caller, who the team hopes will be the next franchise quarterback.
Tannehill, who was making his first appearance at OTAs, noted that he reached out to Willis right after he was drafted (and he welcomed him on social media) and said the team did not inform him of the move beforehand.
“I texted Malik right after we drafted him as well,” Tannehill revealed after noting he had reached out to wide receiver Treylon Burks on the same day he was drafted in the first round, but didn’t get a response before finally talking to him on Saturday. “I wasn’t informed of that (drafting a quarterback) beforehand, but same thing with A.J. — the team is going to do the best thing that they think is in the best interest of the team.”
