The Tennessee Titans are working with rookie quarterback Will Levis to improve his sliding technique and protect himself better. Head coach Mike Vrabel emphasized the importance of using the rules to his advantage and showed Levis examples of quarterbacks who slide. Levis has a tendency to lower his shoulder and take hits instead of sliding, which could lead to injuries. After a collision with Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Levis acknowledged the need to be smarter about using his body and sliding when appropriate. The Titans want to ensure that Levis protects himself going forward.
