Accuracy named Titans QB Will Levis’ biggest weakness

Pro Football Focus recently named accuracy as the biggest weakness for Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis.

PFF recently broke down the biggest weakness for every starting NFL quarterback and for the sophomore quarterback in Nashville, placing the ball where it needs to be has been an issue during the start of his career.

There are a lot of flaws in Levis’ game right now, but his chapter isn’t closed just yet. He has played only nine NFL games with inconsistent results but now gets a new coaching staff and a full offseason to unleash his potential for 2024. Levis does need to hone his accuracy, as his 24.6% uncatchable inaccurate rate last year is the worst mark among returning starters.

An offer for Titans fans

Levis was far from a great passer last season as he finished with 1,808 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns, and four interceptions in nine games. To make matters worse, he only completed 58.4 percent of his passes, making him dead last out of all quarterbacks who started at least eight games.

The former Kentucky Wildcat had a lot of hype coming into his senior season, even getting mocked as high as a top-five draft selection. However, after a mediocre final season at Kentucky, where he only threw for 2,405 yards and 19 touchdowns with 10 interceptions, he slipped down draft boards.

As a result of this, and a lack of elite production in his other collegiate seasons, Levis fell to the second round of the 2023 NFL draft (a very quarterback-needy draft) despite his raw talent.

Accuracy has very clearly been a problem throughout his whole career as it was quoted as his biggest flaw in his draft profile:

Accuracy is below average. Regularly sprays quick game throws; can struggle to set up clean YAC opportunities. Even worse in 2022 than in 2021.

Levis will need to improve on this quickly if he wants to be a long-term starter in this league as the Titans have gone out and surrounded him with receivers that are known to create separation this offseason (Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd).
