It wasn’t easy for Malik Willis making the jump from Liberty to the NFL, but many expected that he would be a project coming into the pros.
With that being said, it appears the Tennessee Titans have already “lost faith” in Willis, according to Peter King, after struggling mightily in his seven appearances this past season.

The NFL world reacted to the update on Twitter.
“The Titans when their developmental quarterback isn’t ready to start after his rookie year,” a user said.

“Losing faith in a rookie QB that was like 1-2 years away from starting to begin with, is pretty wild,” another laughed. “If this report is true, I wonder what on Earth Tennessee was thinking when they drafted Malik.”
