Kentucky quarterback Will Levis has been making headlines as a promising prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft. Despite being a relative underdog compared to other quarterbacks like Bryce Young, Levis has been steadily rising in the odds for becoming the first overall pick (ProFootballTalk, CBS Sports). Some mock drafts even have him as the Houston Texans’ pick at number two (Texans Wire, Battle Red Blog, Jaguars Wire).
Levis is known for his strong physical tools, often compared to Josh Allen, but also for his fearless and uninhibited play style, inspiring others, especially those from his home region of New England, to defy the odds (The Boston Globe). ESPN’s Todd McShay has suggested that the buzz about Levis being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts is very real, further solidifying his potential in the draft (Colts Wire).
However, Levis’ draft position is not without its skeptics. MLive.com suggests that while he may be a physical talent, teams will have to weigh that against his tape to determine his true potential. But regardless of where he ends up being drafted, Levis has certainly made his mark on the minds of NFL fans and analysts alike as a noteworthy prospect in the upcoming draft (The Draft Wire).
