3 years agoTennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill reacted rather coldly when asked about working alongside third-round rookie quarterback Malik Willis, the presumed starting QB of the future in Tennessee. "We're competing against each other, we're watching the same tape, we're doing the same drills. I don't think it's my job to mentor him, but if he learns from me along the way, then that's a great thing," Tannehill said. It's not the first time an incumbent QB hasn't warmly welcomed an incoming rookie signal-caller with open arms, and it won't be the last. Tannehill took a slight step back in 2021, throwing for 3,734 yards, 21 touchdowns and 14 interceptions on 531 attempts over 17 regular season games, and it didn't help that running back Derrick Henry missed a big chunk of the season with a foot injury. The Titans traded top wideout A.J. Brown and replaced him with rookie Treylon Burks. Tannehill still has weapons, but in this run-first offense, he'll be a low-end QB1, at best.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
