In the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the traded up with the to select former Liberty quarterback . It was a solid selection for several reasons: Willis was not expected to fall into the second or third rounds, he was seen by many as the top signal-caller in Alexander Burmistrov Jersey the cla s and the Titans may have need for a quarterback very soon. is no longer one of the fan favorites in Music City, as he threw three costly interceptions against the in the Titans' playoff lo s last January. Tannehill's contract made it nearly impo sible for Tenne see to move on from him if it wanted to this offseason, but it would have been interesting to see what the Titans would have done had his base salary for 2022 not been $29 million, and his dead cap number $57.4 million, .Starting quarterbacks Laurie Boschman Jersey having to discu s younger, flashier players behind them on the depth chart is always touchy, but Tannehill did say during a pre s conference on Tuesday that he texted Willis after the pick to congratulate him despite having no idea that the Titans were eyeing quarterbacks. Usually the savvy veteran signal-caller serves as the "mentor" for the younger QB, but Tannehill said that's not his priority."That's part of being in a quarterback room, in the same room," Tannehill said. "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." Not long after Tannehill's take, Pro Football Hall of Bobby Hull Jersey Fame quarterback Kurt Warner took to Twitter to seemingly respond to these comments. He even said he would serve as a mentor for any young quarterback that was interested! I will never understand Dustin Byfuglien Jersey the Im not here to mentor the next guy mentality so for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me & Ill be that guy, happy to help in any way I can! Kurt Warner (@kurt13warner) If you recall, Warner served as mentor after he was the first pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. While their time together with the was relatively short, Manning previously has applauded Warner for the role he served early in his career. Thanks for being such a cla s act and great mentor for me. Eli Manning (@EliManning) As for Tannehill saying it's not his job to mentor Willis, he's technically correct. It's not in Tannehill' Patrik Laine Jersey s contract to help groom his replacement. His job is to compete and win football games. On the flip side, Tannehill's comments can certainly come off to some as a bit hostile, but it seems unlikely that Tannehill would be unwilling to help the rookie along.
