WATCH: Tennessee Titans Jeffery Simmons Gets Hype for Will Levis: 'That is a Quarterback'

The debut of Will Levis not only resulted in an offensive explosion for the Titans, but also injected a ton of excitement in to the fans, but also Levis' teammates. That includes Jeffery Simmons, who was fired up about Levis on the sideline.

The Tennessee Titans are the talk of the NFL after the exhilarating performance of rookie quarterback Will Levis. Levis threw four touchdowns on the day, tying an NFL rookie debut record and had the crowd in the frenzy for most of Sunday afternoon.

It wasn't just the fans that Levis had buzzing though. Levis' teammates, particularly All-Pro defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons, were fired up on the sideline. Simmons sounded like a guy who has incredible confidence in the rookie and wasn't surprised by the success.

Hope you are sitting down Titans fans, this will get you going.

"That's Will Levis, man," Simmons shouts to start the video. Letting fellow defender Arden Key know that he "told him" about Levis. Simmons caps off his appearance in the video continuing to let his teammates know he believed in Levis all along. 

"Told y'all. That's a quarterback. That Will (Levis) can play."

The hype train for Levis is full-speed ahead for fans and media alike. Obviously, one game doesn't confirm who Levis is as a player, but clearly his teammates have seen something that gives them belief. The fans have now seen it too.

A huge test lies ahead for Levis though. Heading into Pittsburgh is always difficult, but doing it in primetime on a short week won't help make it any easier. Levis will have to prove it against a tough defense with a great pass rush. 

The Falcons were statistically one of the top defenses in the NFL, but the Steelers at home led by T.J. Watt feel like an entirely different animal. If Levis can continue to inspire his teammates though, it could give them a boost to accomplish their task on a short week.
