New Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis couldn’t contain his excitement after he was finally picked on Friday night in the 2023 NFL Draft’s second round.
After he surprisingly fell out of the first round, Levis was left to wonder where his first professional stop would be with a chip on his shoulder.
As it turned out, the Titans traded up in the second round to draft him as the heir apparent for quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
As the pick was announced on television, Levis was jubilant as he celebrated the conclusion of his unexpected draft slide.
You can clearly see that Levis is relieved and fired up for his pick, and he’ll step into a franchise he’s likely to lead one day.

The Titans will now be tasked with cleaning up Levis’ on-field issues and getting him ready for starting quarterback reps in the future.
Unless Tannehill gets dealt this summer, Levis will sit for his first year in the league and likely take starting snaps in 2024.
Regardless, he’s clearly amped to get his professional career going in Music City.
