Pro scheme familiarity is helping Will Levis in NFL Draft meetings

Will Levis was Kentucky’s starting quarterback for two seasons as the Wildcats switched to a pro-style offense. In the transition to the National Football League, Levis has an advantage.

One year after Liam Coen brought Sean McVay’s Los Angeles Rams playbook to Lexington, Rich Scangarello brought Kyle Shanahan’s San Franciso 49ers book to Kentucky with perhaps a twist of what Doug Pederson did with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Levis has played in a pro scheme where the quarterback was asked to get under center, complete hard play-action fakes, and go through true full-field progression reads in the dropback passing game.
