Will Levis was busy settling in with the team, this time around in 2023. But the Titans’ QB seems all set to take over after Ryan Tannehill, with HC Brian Callahan excited to work with him.

While things seem to be going great for the 2023 second-round draft pick on the professional front, it might not all be sunshine and rainbows in his personal life. The 24-year-old was accompanied by Gia Duddy during the draft, but things on that front are different now.

Who is Gia Duddy?

The 22-year-old Penn State University alumni is known for her online presence. Gia attended the 2023 NFL draft with the then-boyfriend, Will Levis, and the popularity of the already well-known social media influencer skyrocketed. The TikTok star amasses a whopping 530k followers on her account that primarily caters to providing lifestyle and GRWM content along with POVs and gym-related videos.

The behavioral health graduate met the QB at university and eventually their relationship blossomed. After garnering a lot of attention during the NFL Draft, Duddy’s social media following has almost doubled over the past year. Once Gia graduated, she moved closer to a newly drafted Will Levis in Nashville.

But after spending barely a month together, the couple chose to part ways in September 2023. They continued in a somewhat on-and-off situation before calling it quits. Even though neither of the two made any official statements, Levis opened up after the season ended for his team. When asked about the changes going on in his life and his separation with Gia, the QB stated, “It’s been good, I mean, it’s something I’m not used to. I was with her for pretty much three years, so it’s something I’m still trying to navigate and figure out.

Levis further said he was busy figuring out game plays during his debut season to focus on other aspects, including a breakup. “That area of my life wasn’t really anything I was too concerned about through the football season because I was just focused on ball,” he clarified. The QB is now “trying to find eventually the right person,” while preparing for the upcoming season.

While Levis is ‘figuring out’ his love life, the no. 33 overall pick has finally something good going on for him. Levis was the starting QB for the Kentucky Wildcats and was projected to be a first-round pick. However, the 24-year-old was pretty much snubbed during the first round until the Titans chose to draft him.

But things didn’t seem too well for Levis as he became the third QB on the Tennessee team. Ryan Tannehill was supposed to leave after the 2023 season. But the former Kentucky player had to outperform veteran QB, Malik Willis, to achieve the role of a starting QB. And it seems things are finally looking up for Will Levis, as HC Brian Callahan placed his bets on him.

Levis might find it difficult to adjust to the shift in coaching, as Mike Vrabel stepped down and Callahan has taken over. However, it seems HC Callahan trusts the QB’s abilities. Per Brian, “The things you see in Will are [what] you want to see in your quarterback.” He further added, “I just love everything he’s about. He’s got real talent and [the] ability to be a high-level quarterback in the NFL. Those are the things I’m excited about.

And it’s not just the HC who’s excited about the QB. Levis also shared his thoughts on working with Brian. “He has been able to work with a great amount of quarterbacks, and it gets you excited when you see the track record and you see the stats and you start watching the film of how he is able to run an offense and do it really well at a high level efficiently,” said the QB. Will concluded with, “So, I am excited to work for him and hopefully be that next guy that people mention of guys he’s had under his belt.

Will the duo be able to take their team to the playoffs, or maybe even the Super Bowl? What are your thoughts? Do let us know in the comments.
