Will Levis just made his first start in the NFL as Tennessee Titan's Ryan Tannehill was sidelined with an ankle injury for the October 29th clash with the Atlanta Falcons. Lewis threw for 238 yards, with four touchdowns in what can only be described as an outstanding debut.

Before cutting his trade at the NFL level, Lewis started his playing days in the NCAA with the SEC's Kentucky Wildcats and the Big Ten's Penn State Nittany Lions. He spent five seasons at the college level, from 2018 to 2022.
