Kurt Warner, who once handled himself with utmost professionalism in a mentorship quandary, has come out to slam comments made on the topic by Ryan Tannehill.
On Tuesday, the Titans’ quarterback told reporters that “I don’t think it’s my job” to mentor Malik Willis, the quarterback from Liberty whom the team selected in the third round of the NFL Draft.
“I will never understand the ‘I’m not here to mentor the next guy’ mentality,” Warner tweeted.
“So for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me & Ill be that guy, happy to help in any way I can!”
With the Giants, Warner was very gracious in his mentorship of Eli Manning. Manning was selected first overall in 2004 by the Chargers. He did not want to play there and was ultimately shipped to Big Blue, where it immediately became a matter of when and not if he would supplant Warner as the starter.
