Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is under fire this week over comments made about newly-drafted quarterback Malik Willis.
When asked about the team drafting his potential replacement, Tannehill made it clear that he has no interest in ‘mentoring’ the young Willis.
âI texted Malik right after we drafted him as well. I have no problems with Malik. Weâre looking to add talent and guys that can help us. Weâll add him to the room and go from there. Thatâs part of being in a quarterback room, in the same room, weâre competing against each other, weâre watching the same tape, weâre doing the same drills. I donât think itâs my job to mentor him. But if he learns from me along the way, then thatâs a great thing.â

Shortly after Ryan Tannehill’s comments about Malik Willis, Hall of fame quarterback Kurt Warner lashed out at the veteran QB.
âI will never understand the âIâm not here to mentor the next guyâ mentality⊠so for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me & Ill be that guy, happy to help in any way I can!â Warner said on Twitter.
Robert Griffin III also took issue with Ryan Tannehill’s initial comment about Malik Willis.
âItâs not in @ryantannehill1âs job description to mentor @malikwillis. But as the Quarterback of the team, it is YOUR JOB to lead everybody. Saying you wonât help a young player adds unneeded tension to the locker room. Help the next guy and let your play decide who the future is,â Griffin wrote.
