NFL Draft: Tennessee Titans Take Their Potential Future QB

There was a time when Willis was rumored as high as number two overall, while that may have been way off, the Titans could not wait any longer. More Below.

Few prospects have garnered as much attention as Willis during the pre-draft process. A mix of arm talent and athleticism, Willis has tremendous traits and all the tools in the world. That being said, his processing, footwork, and poise all need work. 

The Titans may have let the world know about their look into the future of quarterback tonight with Willis. With Ryan Tannehill having had a solid career with the Titans to this point, the pick may come as a bit surprising. However, the last game he played was a three-interception loss in the playoffs that left a bad taste in the mouth of many. 

Willis will need to hone in on his fundamentals and make sure he tightens up his mechanics, but with Tannehill in front of him, it is a great scenario for Willis. 

"He was the best player on the board, and we're excited to have him on the team," Titans general manager Jon Robinson said of Willis. "Good arm, athletic, moves around well and has a really good skillset. He throws a good ball and is tough to tackle. He's got a lot of work to do like all these rookies do."

"Ryan Tannehill is a great player, and he's a great leader for this organization," Willis said. "I just want to come in and just do all I can in order to get better at my craft. Whenever that time comes for me to get on the field, then that time will come. But until then, I'm just going to try to learn and be the best teammate that I can be."

"His role will be determined by how quickly he comes in here and learns the offense and improves and gains the respect of his teammates," Robinson said regarding Willis becoming a starter.

"We want them all to compete for starting roles," added Vrabel. "Everybody wants the corner office and to live on the top floor. That's what you try to do in professional sports."
