The first two weeks of the NFL season have not been kind to Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis, who has struggled with costly mistakes that have hindered his team’s early performance. In Week 1, Levis threw a critical pick-six against the Chicago Bears, a decision that effectively cost the Titans the game. The rookie’s woes continued in Week 2, when he made another poor judgment call in a pivotal moment during their matchup against the New York Jets. With the Titans holding a lead in the red zone, Levis attempted an ill-advised lateral, nearly squandering the opportunity to score.
Titans head coach Brian Callahan didn’t hold back in his criticism of Levis, calling out the quarterback for being reckless with the football. “It was dumb,” Callahan told reporters. “It was the same exact thing he did last week, and it cost us points in the red zone. That is what it is. He’s a grown-up, and he knows better. I was really irritated that he cost us three points in a game where we probably needed it.”
While Levis is facing mounting pressure on the field, his off-field drama also seems to be heating up. His ex-girlfriend, Gia Duddy, appears to be taking subtle jabs at the quarterback’s rocky start to the 2024 season. Earlier this week, Duddy posted a video on TikTok of herself lip-syncing to a popular song, accompanied by the caption: “No revenge because if I believe in anything it’s karma.” Although she didn’t mention Levis by name, the timing of the post left fans speculating whether it was directed at the quarterback.
Levis and Duddy began dating in 2021 when both were students at Penn State, and their relationship garnered attention during Levis’s rise in college football. However, after the quarterback was drafted into the NFL, the two went their separate ways.

Last season, Levis briefly opened up about his breakup with Duddy, acknowledging that it had been an adjustment period for him. “It’s been good, I mean, it’s something I’m not used to,” Levis told Steve Driscoll. “I was with her for pretty much three years, so it’s something I’m still trying to navigate and figure out.”
Since their split, Levis has moved on and is now dating Victoria Fuller, a former contestant on The Bachelor. The couple made their relationship public during training camp, drawing plenty of attention from fans and media alike. Despite the fresh start in his personal life, Levis’s struggles on the field and the apparent shade from Duddy have added more complexity to the early days of his NFL career.
With the pressure mounting, Levis will need to focus on turning his performance around and proving that he can bounce back from these early mistakes.
But as his ex seemingly enjoys his rough start, the young quarterback’s journey to NFL success is proving to be filled with both professional and personal challenges.
