Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill feels his comments about it not being his job to mentor 2022 third-round pick Malik Willis have been blown out of proportion.
"I meant no disrespect to Malik or anything like that," Tannehill said on Tuesday. "We've been in constant communication since he was drafted. I'm disappointed in how things got spun and twisted a little bit. I pride myself on being a great teammate my whole career going back to when I was a kid playing youth sports."
When asked about mentoring Willis earlier his month, Tannehill said he understood the dynamics of a competitive quarterback room, but it isn't his job to mentor the rookie quarterback.
