Titans' QB Will Levis Sends Daunting 4-Word Warning to NFL Draft Prank Caller

Will Levis is set to be the starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans this season after being selected by the franchise in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. With vast improvements made on offense and defense, Levis has a shot at making some noise this season.
But during a recent guest appearance on Barstool's Bussin' With the Boys , Levis revealed that he received a prank call during the NFL Draft before the Titans selected him. Usually, players ignore it and laugh about the prank call later on. However, Levis seems to be seeking revenge for his prank caller.
He sent a daunting four-word warning to whoever prank-called him during the draft, claiming he saved the phone number. While telling the story to former NFL journeyman, Will Compton, and former Titans left tackle, Taylor Lewan, Levis stated, "I’ll find them someday."
"I get a phone call from somebody. It was a prank call... I still have the number saved. I'll find them someday."
Levis sure sounds like Liam Neeson in the film, Taken , there doesn't he? Okay, maybe Levis doesn't have the Irish accent, but he's certainly giving a Neeson vibe over a prank caller.
This isn't the first time we've heard of a player receiving a prank call during the NFL Draft. This year's draft featured a prank call caught on camera. Safety Cooper DeJean received a call claiming he had been selected by the Green Bay Packers only to find out it was false. The Philadelphia Eagles eventually selected Cooper with the 40th pick overall.
DeJean seemed to laugh it off in the video but Levis appears to be a bit more intense about it. That intensity is what the Titans hope to see from Levis now that he's the starting quarterback.
After flashing potential in his rookie season, Levis aims to take the next step in development. He finished his rookie campaign with 1,808 passing yards, nine total touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also held a 58.4 completion percentage through nine games played.
Levis struggled with injuries in the final stretch of the season, so staying healthy is a must moving forward. The good news is that the Titans revamped the offense around their young quarterback.
The wide receiver room is much improved after the front office added Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd through free agency. They also selected JC Latham with the seventh pick overall of the 2024 NFL Draft, giving Tennessee a much-needed improvement at left tackle. Additionally, the front office signed veteran center Lloyd Cushenberry to provide extra protection.
Tennessee officially moved on from Derrick Henry and new head coach, Brian Callahan is implementing a pass first offense. This system is built around Levis and if he proves to be successful, the Titans may have finally found their franchise quarterback.
