In his quest to continue preparing for the 2024 season, Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis managed to get the cops called on him while on vacation in Italy earlier this month.
In an interview with CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, Levis revealed that someone called the cops on him after he jumped a fence to a soccer field in order to get some work in.
Levis said he "got out of there before anything crazy happened," and had to use a translator app on his phone to explain the situation to police. He added that nobody cared he was an NFL quarterback.
"We were 45 minutes from Siena, which is kind of the big city, so I went to a gym there and I thought it was Gold's gym, but it turns out it was Gold Gym," Levis said. "First gym I ever saw that opened at 10 a.m. I had to wait until 10 a.m to go there every day. I was doing stuff in there that nobody in there has probably ever seen, just in terms of the football stuff we do. It was funny. There were a couple soccer fields I scouted out beforehand. One of those I had to jump the fence to go on. I had the cops called on me. I got out of there before anything crazy happened."
Thankfully, Levis avoided being thrown in jail, but it just goes to show you the lengths the young signal-caller will go just to try and get better.
"This is important to him," Titans head coach Brian Callahan said recently. "Being a good quarterback matters to him. He wants to be great. He does everything in his power to do that. I respect that. It's not fake. It's real. He's willing to do whatever it takes. When your have that mindset, you can solve a lot of problems like that."
Levis and the Titans were on the practice field on Friday but the session was not open to the media. The next open practice is scheduled for Saturday.
