NASHVILLE — Will Levis couldn’t be happier at seeing all the new teammates the Tennessee Titans have added this offseason, both through free agency and the NFL draft, as the quarterback prepares for his second pro season and his first as their starter from the beginning.
The Titans not only hired an offensive-minded head coach in Brian Callahan, general manager Ran Carthon signed veteran receiver Calvin Ridley in March and is in the process of adding someone Callahan knows well from five seasons together with the Cincinnati Bengals: receiver Tyler Boyd. Tennessee also used the seventh overall pick of the recent NFL draft on offensive lineman JC Latham, a player the Titans hope will be a significant upgrade and fix at left tackle.
“For one, it means that they’re not afraid to make those investments and they want to go win, which is awesome to see,” Levis said Thursday.
Levis said he can’t wait for Boyd to officially join the Titans and get the whole group together to work on the offense, though he knows some of the guys in a crowded group of receivers might not be happy at first about a new addition.
Boyd seems poised to immediately join three-time All-Pro first-teamer DeAndre Hopkins and Ridley as Tennessee’s third receiver, ahead of Treylon Burks, who was Tennessee’s first-round pick in 2022, and Kyle Philips, a fifth-round pick that same draft. Injuries limited both receivers through their first two seasons.
