However, one of the biggest players wear a Titans jersey believes they already have a franchise quarterback in Will Levis and wants the team to go a different route.

“I want Hunter. I want Travis. Will Levis, we just got him. I think Will will end up being a good quarterback,” Johnson told TMZ Sports. “Sometimes it takes time. Look at some of these quarterbacks, like Jordan Love and some of these other guys. They had time to sit down and learn. Years to sit down and learn. So I feel like that he will do it justice.
“I just don’t feel like you’re doing what we did in previous years when we had Levis and then two guys for cheap. I think we’ll go in and see what Will Levis can do for us. Bring on Travis. ..I think we would be absolutely foolish if we passed up Travis at number 2.”

Johnson said he would like Hunter to focus on the play corner while playing receiver in certain packages. Hunter won both top receiver and defender awards for the 2024 season.
Hunter has said he would like to play on both sides, but many experts predict he will fit more comfortably in defense.
It’s been a struggle for Levis in his two NFL seasons. He has completed just 61.2% of his passes for 20 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 20 games. At No. 2, they could select Hunter’s quarterback, Shedeur Sandersor Cam Ward.
