Levis enters his fourth NFL season competing for the backup quarterback job behind franchise QB Cam Ward, with veteran Mitchell Trubisky (signed to a two-year, $10.5 million deal) taking the majority of snaps in training camp. Levis has missed all of last season after undergoing surgery on his throwing arm and has not put tape on the field in nearly two years. He is competing against Trubisky, who previously worked with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll in Buffalo, and 2023 third-round pick Hendon Hooker.

Levis posted a 5-16 record as the Tennessee Titans' QB1 from 2023-24, with a 2-10 record in his starts during the 2024 season. His second-year campaign was marked by baffling and meme-worthy turnovers, shoulder injury, inconsistencies, and poor decisions. The Titans finished 3-14 overall, which earned them the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft, used on Cam Ward, who was anointed as the starter before any competition could be discussed.

Levis is competing for reps as the Titans' QB3 entering the 2026 season after missing the 2025 campaign due to shoulder surgery. He's battling veteran backup Mitchell Trubisky and 2023 third-round pick Hendon Hooker for playing time under new head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Levis stated he's "100 percent" confident he can be an NFL starter again, asserting "there are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me." He emphasized he's throwing without lingering pain and feels healthier mentally and emotionally after his year off.

Levis, 27, lost his starting job in Nashville after struggling in 21 starts across 2023–2024 (5–16 record, 16 interceptions, 17 fumbles, 69 sacks). He underwent shoulder surgery and missed the entire 2025 season while the Titans drafted Cam Ward No. 1 overall. In 2026 training camp, Levis expressed confidence in his future as an NFL starter, stating "There are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me" and "I have more confidence than I've ever had." His roster spot with Tennessee is not guaranteed, but he may find an opportunity elsewhere if cut.

Levis expressed confidence in his quarterback ability and mental improvement after a year away from the field. He stated 'I know I've put the tape out there already that I'm a dang good quarterback in this league and I'm even better than I ever have been. There are not 32 quarterbacks in this league better than me. I know that for sure.' Levis attributed his improvement to mental and emotional processing rather than on-field reps, saying he's in a healthier mental place and better equipped to handle the rigors of NFL quarterback play.

Levis is entering his fourth season with a renewed mental approach after a full year away from the field; he stated he's focused on being ready whenever called upon rather than worrying about limited reps.

Levis averaged 35 rushing yards per game and ran for 9 touchdowns in only 12 starts while looking great as a passer; he was a clear talent elevator for the offense, with the offense tanking when he came off the field. Offensive line improvements expected this offseason should help him stay healthy while maintaining his rushing production. The source recommends drafting Levis earlier than current ADP, especially in Underdog leagues where he can be stacked with Hyatt as a very high upside pairing. Tier three quarterback due to need for more time to prove he can elevate into tier one; doesn't have the same mobility as Jalen Hurts and probably won't run for as many touchdowns or rushing yards as Jayden Daniels, though he is highly mobile and looks good as a passer.
