Tennessee Titans rookie Will Levis made his NFL debut Sunday afternoon, instantly impacting the crew of their 28-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Levis accomplished 65 p.c of his passes, threw 4 touchdowns for 238 yards and nil interceptions. It was an incredible displaying by the rookie quarterback out of Kentucky, so right here’s your warning for what’s about to occur Monday:. The hype practice for Levis ought to be off the rails by tomorrow morning on sports activities discuss reveals nationwide.
Nothing in opposition to Levis, who will seemingly have a tremendous profession, however this units up some jabroni on First Take (in all probability Mad Canine Chris Russo) with the chance to go overboard predicting and pontificating concerning the Titans QB. It by no means fails on this period the place every part must be instantaneous.
Everybody needs to be the primary to say, “I had this man being nice earlier than he was really nice,” or one thing to that impact. Be blissful he isn’t enjoying for one of many extra established franchises, particularly the Dallas Cowboys. If Levis had finished this filling in for Dak Prescott, they’d be getting ready his jacket for the Corridor of Fame after one recreation.
This doesn’t imply Levis received’t be nice, and it has nothing to do with him personally. It’s extra about the place we’re in society and as a sports activities tradition on a relentless hunt to crown a brand new king. If Levis has a pair extra huge video games like Sunday’s in opposition to the Falcons, somebody will evaluate him to Patrick Mahomes. Simply wait, it’ll occur. Possibly Levis can be that good. However nobody has time to let him play even a handful of video games, not to mention a complete season, earlier than predicting his profession.
Hopefully, we will get one other Russo retirement “pledge” primarily based on what Levis does within the subsequent couple of video games. Whereas it’s uncertain Mad Canine retains his phrase, we will solely hope. With Ryan Tannehill seemingly lacking extra video games with an ankle harm, we’ll discover out quickly how a lot potential this child actually has.
