Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis endured a painful slide out of the first round in the NFL Draft in Kansas City last month, but the rookie has gained the chance to work with one of his childhood heroes from the experience.
The former Kentucky star was tipped as a top-10 selection but he faced the excruciating experience of watching from the green room as no team wrote his name on the draft card until the Titans traded up to the second spot in the second round.
The 23-year-old gunslinger is sure to have a chip on his shoulder as he takes his first steps as an NFL player, but his slide has allowed him to link up with Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, a stalwart of the great New England Patriots teams that Massachusetts native Levis grew up supporting in the early 2000s.
