Will Levis says losing Titans' starting job to Cam Ward 'sucks,' but he's staying positive

It is a less than ideal situation for the third-year quarterback who once thought he would be the future of the franchise.

But the chin stays up, and the mentality stays the same.

"I'm just trying to do the best I can to not let it affect me and just being the same dude every day in the building and being there for the guys however I can and just trying to get better every day," Levis said.

Despite a new role, Levis plans on treating every day like he has in the last few years.

"I haven't been a backup in a while, but I don't plan on shifting my mindset, regardless of what the situation is," he said. "I'm just going to be ready to play quarterback whenever my name is called."

Levis figures to be the favorite to win the backup job against Tim Boyle and Brandon Allen.
