Will Levis sees the Titans' offseason additions as proof team wants to win now

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Titans quarterback Will Levis couldn't be happier at seeing all the new teammates Tennessee has added this offseason both through free agency and the NFL draft.

The Titans not only hired an offensive-minded coach in Brian Callahan, general manager Ran Carthon signed veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley in March and just added someone in Tyler Boyd who knows Callahan well from five seasons together in Cincinnati.

That's not including using the seventh overall pick on JC Latham, a player Tennessee hopes 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.

Callahan couldn't comment much on Boyd with the paperwork still not done yet. That didn't apply to Levis who said he can't wait for when Boyd joins the Titans and getting the whole group together.

Levis said he knows some Titans might not be happy at first about a new addition.

Boyd seems poised to immediately join threetime All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins and Ridley as Tennessee's third receiver, ahead of Treylon Burks who was this team's 18th pick overall in 2022 and Kyle Philips, a fifth-round pick that same draft.

Injuries limited both receivers through their first two seasons. Hopkins finished with 1,057 yards receiving, but Ridley would have ranked second with his 76 catches for 1,016 yards receiving and eight touchdown catches. Boyd would have ranked second with 67 catches for 667 yards and two TDs.

Levis, the 33rd pick overall a year ago, said it's on him to instill confidence in his teammates. He sees the Titans’ new additions helping improve the offense with competition pushing everyone to be better.

"It’s going to be great for all of us and just great to have that environment of competitiveness, and everyone’s going to get better because of it,” Levis said.
