Titans' Will Levis 'proud' of how loved ones handled spotlight, reveals how he stayed 'sane' during draft fall

Tennessee Titans rookie Will Levis talked about how he was able to stay ‘sane’ during his draft free fall.

The NFL world watched as Will Levis went from a first-round lock to a second-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in the spring. The broadcast cameras showed the Kentucky standout go from excited to melancholy in the green room in a matter of hours.

Levis told Fox News Digital in a recent interview there was at least one thing that kept him "sane" as the minutes ticked by slowly. 

"There was nothing I could do about it. That was at least what kept me a little sane. I knew there’s nothing in my power that I can do to change my position while you’re back there sitting around. It is what it is," Levis said. 

"I wasn’t really worried about my situation or how things were going for me, and I wasn’t watching the broadcast or anything. So, I didn’t know all the eyes that were on me and how they were portraying me in the broadcast.

"But, I mean, at the very least, I wish that the airtime I stole on TV, I think could have been used a little bit more efficiently for the guys that did get picked and are able to have those big moments for themselves. It is what it is. And I truly believe I ended up where I was meant to end up. And regardless if I went first overall or in the seventh round or undrafted, I know that my work ethic wouldn’t change. I’m just so glad to be where I am."

In the midst of the draft drama, Levis was flanked by his family and loved ones.
