In the 2022 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans have selected a new quarterback in the third round. Malik Willis of Liberty will be Ryan Tannehill’s backup with the Titans in the future. However, Tannehill does not want to be a teacher for the 22-year-old, as he stated.

Munich/Nashville – Ryan Tannehill is ready for the new season. After skipping voluntary OTAs, the Tennessee Titans quarterback is back in the Titans facility as of Tuesday.

However, the Texan, who is always in a good mood, was in no mood to laugh during his first interview of the new season. The reason: the decisions of the Titans’ front office during the draft.

Teacher for Willis? Tannehill is not thrilled

Talking about rookie quarterback Malik Willis, who the Titans took in the third round from the Liberty Flames, Tannehill said, “No one told me there was a new quarterback coming in. But I’m aware of how this league works, I’m looking forward to competing with him. “

The former Dolphins playmaker said.

Get loud, put your hands up, and Titan up!

However, the eleven-year older Tannehill doesn’t want to be a mentor to Willis: “I don’t think it’s my job to play teacher to him. If he learns something as we work together, that’s great,” said the quarterback, who is entering his 10th NFL season.

“I’ve already texted him too,” he reveals. But he wouldn’t reveal what exactly was in the message to Willis.

Not only did the Titans add to the quarterback room, they also traded away Tannehill’s most reliable receiver, A.J. Brown, to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for draft picks.

“I was shocked,” the 33-year-old said. “I thought to myself ‘This can’t be true, these are rumours,’ but then I talked to him and realised it was true.” As a replacement, the Titans have bolstered themselves with rookie Treylon Burks of Arkansas.

“I slept terribly that night,” revealed Tannehill, who was visibly taken aback by his team’s recent decisions.

Next week, the rookies arrive for workouts with their new team – including Malik Willis. Then it will be decided how Ryan Tannehill receives his new colleague and whether he really doesn’t want to be a mentor.
