NFL analyst has Will Levis near bottom of QB rankings

2024 is an incredibly important season for Will Levis.

After showing promising signs in 2023, the Titans went all out this offseason to upgrade his supporting cast. Running back Tony Pollard, Wide receivers Tyler Boyd and Calvin Ridley, and a revamped offensive line should all help Levis flourish in 2024.

However, for now, at least one NFL analyst has Levis near the bottom of his QB rankings for 2024. [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal]

Dan Pizzuta of 33rd Team recently published a power ranking of all the expected starting QBs in the NFL. Pizzuta had Levis at No. 21. Regarding Levis, the analyst offered the following:

Will Levis is a mystery box quarterback. His best throws can be compared to quarterbacks much higher in these rankings, but his down-to-down consistency puts him down here.

His pocket presence might be his fatal flaw. Last season, Levis took a hit on over a quarter of his dropbacks, which was easily the highest rate in the league. Sometimes, that ends up as a cool throw with a defender in his face, but it's often just the result of not feeling the pressure in the first place.

If an improved offensive line and receivers can help Levis get the ball out, the Titans could be onto something, but that could be a high bar to clear.

Pizzuta has a point about the pocket presence, but that should only get better as Levis gets more comfortable in the NFL.

For reference, Colts QB Anthony Richardson is ranked three spots ahead of Levis, even with fewer NFL starts.

This is the type of article that won't matter if Levis performs like we expect him to in 2024. The ball is in Levis' corner.
