Will Levis now has loads of mayonnaise to add to his coffee.
No, that is not a typo.
The Tennessee Titans’ rookie quarterback caused quite a stir in 2022 when his post went viral after he said he sometimes puts mayonnaise in his coffee.
“I have been known to add mayonnaise to my coffee sometimes,” Levis said in the video before taking a sip of the freshly brewed and generously squeezed concoction.
That cup of joe and mayonnaise led him to sign a lifetime supply contract with Hellmann’s Mayonnaise on Tuesday.
The company announced the partnership by posting a mock press conference on YouTube, during which Levis answered questions on his favorite condiment while sitting in front of a stack of mayonnaise jars.
“It’s not every day that someone offers you mayonnaise as compensation,” Levis said at one point. “I am proud to officially announce that I have signed a lifetime contract with Hellmann.”
After his performance at Kentucky, Levis was expected to be certainly one of the highest players in April’s NFL draft. But he fell to the second round, and the Titans chosen him thirty third overall. Levis is now competing to be the Titans’ backup quarterback behind starter Ryan Tannehill.
Levis first revealed his preference for coffee creamer substitutes in a TikTok video posted in 2021 that was viewed by nearly 1,000,000 people. While sitting in a restaurant, his girlfriend offers him cream for his coffee, but he refuses.
“Oh, so you drink black coffee?” – he asks.
“Not really,” he replies, squeezing the mayonnaise right into a cup and taking a sip.

Levis also has an unusual taste for fruit. He eats whole bananas, including the peel.
