WATCH: Titans quarterback Will Levis kisses catfish before Predators NHL playoff game

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis did something Sunday afternoon former Titans left tackle Taylor Lewan could not: Catch a catfish to bring to Bridgestone Arena for the Nashville Predators' NHL playoffs game against the Vancouver Canucks.

Wearing a Filip Forsberg Nashville Predators jersey, Levis gained some favor with hockey fans when he held aloft a catfish and kissed it before Game 4 of the first-round NHL playoffs series began.

Center Lloyd Cushenberry III, who the Titans signed this spring in free agency, stood next to Levis, who was shown on the big screens above center ice.

Neither was the first NFL player to make an appearance at a Predators playoff game this year.

And Levis wasn't the first to wear a Forsberg jersey.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, a good friend of Forsberg's was spotted at Game 3 on Friday, also representing No. 9. Kittle, sitting in the front row, also chugged a beer.

The Predators and Canucks will meet again Tuesday in Vancouver for Game 5 of the series.
