Slowly but surely, Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis appears to be getting more comfortable, something he recently admitted was the case after practice on Saturday.
But on Monday, Levis had by far his best day of training camp, a showing that included his tossing five touchdowns during red-zone periods on what was Tennessee’s first padded practice of training camp.
“I felt there was some good balls,” Vrabel said, according to ESPN’s Turron Davenport. “I thought there were some good decisions down in the red zone, I thought he delivered the ball with some accuracy, tried to push it down the field and worked the concepts that we had going into today in the red zone. So, take it day by day; there’s going to be some good days, some bad days, learn from them and keep progressing.”

Levis’ most impressive stretch of plays during the session was in seven-on-sevens, where the Kentucky product threw three of his touchdowns despite tight windows, displaying his impressive arm strength.
Adding to that, his quick release was also mentioned as a positive, as was his ball placement.
Will Levis opens #Titans 7-on-7 period with 3 consecutive touchdown passes. Each from 20+ yards in tight windows.
Have a day.

#Titans worked the red zone today. Will Levis and Malik Willis alternated snaps at times but Levis was still primarily third. Showed off quick release in tighter space and had good day.

As noted by beat writer Paul Kuharsky above, Levis and fellow signal-caller Malik Willis did some rotating, but it was Levis who was still primarily working as the No. 3.
However, if he can keep this up, Levis might work his way into more of a rotation with Willis moving forward.
“It’s just a bit different but I still carry myself the same way like I would as if I was the starter,” Levis said when asked about working as the third-string quarterback, per Broadway Sports’ Easton Freeze.
“It’s kind of similar to back in my position at Penn State. When you’re the backup, there’s a certain way of going about yourself to still be a leader but not step on the toes of the guy that’s got the job, which is Ryan (Tannehill), obviously. I’m just finding ways to do it the right way, just be someone in the locker room that can bring the team along and just do what’s asked of me at the position with a good attitude.”
While Levis was the talk of practice on Monday, Willis wasn’t too shabby, either. You can check out more on him and everything else that went on during the first padded practice with our takeaways article right here.
