Will Levis claims he’s among the NFL’s best quarterbacks amid fan backlash

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis told reporters at training camp that “there are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me,” asserting he remains a starting‑caliber player. The statement sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with fans labeling the comment “delusional” and “blatantly wrong.”

Levis, the 2023 second‑round draft pick, missed the entire 2025 season after shoulder surgery and is now competing for the backup role behind starter Cam Ward, while veteran Mitchell Trubisky also vies for playing time. He said the year off helped him “focus on having fun” and calm his nervous system, indicating a new mental approach for the upcoming season.

The remarks highlight a contrast between Levis’s confidence and his on‑field record, which includes a 5‑16 starter record, a high interception rate and limited playing time, fueling the fan debate.
