As it stands, the Tennessee Titans have the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, putting them in a prime position for a potential franchise quarterback.
However, one of the greatest players to wear a Titans jersey believes they already have a franchise quarterback in Will Levis and wants the team to take a different path.
Chris Johnson, one of nine players to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season, wants the team to select Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter.

“I want Hunter. I want Travis. Will Levis, we just got him. I think Will is going to 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’ve had time to sit and learn. Years to sit and learn. So, I I have the impression that it will take on its full meaning.
“I just don’t feel like you’re doing what we’ve done in previous years, where we have Levis and then two guys on the cheap. I think we’re going to see what Will Levis can do for us. Bring Travis in. … I think it would be absolutely stupid for us to move Travis to No. 2.”

Johnson said he would like Hunter to focus on playing corner while also playing receiver in some packages. Hunter won the Best Receiver and Best Defensive Player awards for the 2024 season.
Hunter said he would like to play both ends, but many experts predict he will fit more comfortably on defense.
It’s been a struggle for Levis in his two seasons in the NFL. He 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 Sanders or Cam Ward.

Hunter just won the Heisman Trophy in the closest vote since 2009, beating Ashton Jeanty. Both Hunter and Sanders are expected to be the first pick in April.
