The Week 2 preseason matchup between the Buccaneers and Titans represents a clash of two quarterbacks in vastly different situations. Tampa Bay has Tom Brady, the undisputed GOAT who unexpectedly walked back his retirement to return for a 22nd season.
On the other sideline stands Titans newcomer Malik Willis. Although Ryan Tannehill is slated to be Tennessee's starter, Willis figures to be the heir apparent. The former Liberty star dropped to the third round in this year's NFL Draft, but it looks as if he just might have the goods to last in the league. His first taste of NFL action was a successful one, all things considered; the dual-threat talent went 6 for 11 with 107 yards passing to go with 38 yards and a touchdown rushing last week vs. the Ravens.

Brady (personal) is not expected to be with the team Saturday. Willis, on the other hand, very well could see the field. And the way he performs could make things even more interesting for Tennessee as it plans for this season — and beyond.
Willis' second appearance in Titans blue could go a long way toward pushing him into the national consciousness, too. What better time to strut one's stuff than against the GOAT's team?
