Titans quarterback Malik Willis has a strong day of practice on Saturday

Malik Willis is entering his third NFL season in 2024. A third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, Willis started three games as a rookie and struggled.

The Titans selected Will Levis in the 2023 NFL draft as a second-round pick. He is now the starting quarterback. This offseason, Tennessee signed veteran Mason Rudolph to serve as Levis’ backup and mentor.

Where does that leave Willis entering a critical training camp?

New head coach Brian Callahan said in the offseason that Willis would have every opportunity to beat out Rudolph for the job.

“It’s a competition,” Callahan said last month. “They’re going to both get a fair shake at the two-job.”

The Titans were back on the field Saturday, and Willis had his best day of practice yet. According to Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com, Willis completed 6 of his 9 attempts on the day, earning praise from Callahan.

“Really pleased with Malik,” Callahan said. “I think both those quarterbacks have really done a nice job. Malik came out and had a nice day with some aggressive throws. He’s really done a nice job knowing what to do, where to go with the football. And, really pleased with how he played today. It was a good day for Malik.”

Sam Phelan, who covers the Titans for AtoZSports Nashville, said it was Willis’ best NFL practice.

While it was a good day for Willis, both Levis and Rudolph also had practice sessions.
