Will Levis' difficult start to life in the NFL has continued with the second-round pick being "outperformed" in his bid to be the Tennessee Titans' backup quarterback.
Levis endured a painful slide in April's draft after being touted as a likely top-10 pick, falling to the second round where he was taken with the 33rd-overall selection in Kansas City.
It was presumed the 24-year-old would come in and quickly rival Ryan Tannehill for the starting job, but instead, the former Kentucky signal-caller has been locked in a quarterback battle with Malik Willis for the backup role in Organised Team Activities and minicamp over the past two months, with head coach Mike Vrabel demanding Levis earns the right to climb the depth chart.
