With new head coach Brian Callahan at the helm, the Tennessee Titans are expected to move to a more pass-heavy offense in 2024, something quarterback Will Levis will no doubt be happy about.
During an interview with former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III on the “RG3 and The Ones” podcast, Levis said he’s looking forward to moving the ball through the air more this coming season.
“I’m looking forward to getting the ball in the air more,” Levis said. “I’m looking forward to throwing more on earlier downs. I’m looking forward to really learning to master the pass game because (Callahan has) been able to do that and teach it and see so many guys do it.
“I’m really hoping I can be another one of those guys for him. I know I have what it takes. I just got to put the pieces together.”
Before the Titans can move forward with that plan, they’ve got to add more help at the wide receiver position and beef up their offensive line, which was horrendous in pass protection last season.
One receiver Levis would like to play with is Jacksonville Jaguars pending free agent Calvin Ridley, who the Kentucky product praised while noting the veteran receiver’s familiarity with offensive coordinator Nick Holz, who was the Jags’ passing-game coordinator in 2023.
“Yeah, he’s definitely an awesome player,” Levis said of Ridley. “I got to see first-hand him torch us a couple of times. It would be cool to have someone of his caliber out there playing. I’m sure he’s comfortable with Holz.”
“It would be cool to definitely play with him and, who knows, maybe link up in the offseason, get some balls in the air and see what we can make happen. But it’s not my decision. I don’t really have any pull.”
It remains to be seen if the Jags will re-sign Ridley, but if not the Titans should definitely be interested, as not only would he be a great second option, but the signing would also hurt a division rival.
