Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis is quickly drawing comparisons to one of the all-time greats at the position.
A clip of Levis performing a jaw-dropping through during the team’s rookie minicamp session has gone viral. Levis scrambles to the right before dropping a dime to his receiver along the sidelines for the catch:
Many fans who saw the viral video have already started comparing Levis to New York Jets quarterback and four-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers. The latter was traded to the Jets last month after 18 years with the Green Bay Packers.

Levis was highly expected to be a top-10 selection in this year’s draft, with some even thinking he’d go second overall to the Houston Texans. But in what will go down as an all-time draft stunner, the Kentucky Wildcats product went unselected in round one.
The Titans traded up to select Levis in round two at No. 33 overall. He was the fourth quarterback taken in this year’s draft, behind only Alabama’s Bryce Young (first overall to the Carolina Panthers), Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud (second overall to the Texans) and Florida’s Anthony Richardson (fourth overall to the Indianapolis Colts).
The 6-foot-3 Levis didn’t quite put up eye-popping numbers at NCAA, but a not-so-great supporting cast has been cited as a key reason why. In his final year with the Wildcats, Levis completed 65.4 percent of pass attempts for 2,406 yards and 19 touchdowns against 10 interceptions.
