Kentucky quarterback Will Levis was not selected during the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

He was considered a potential top-five pick by several analysts, including ESPN’s Mel Kiper, who had him ranked No. 4 overall on his final big board earlier this week.

According to ESPN, there was less than a 1 percent chance that Levis would fall past pick No. 22.

The 6-foot-4, 229-pound quarterback was one of 17 players invited to attend the first-round of the draft in Kansas City.

Levis played at Penn State for two years before transferring to Kentucky, which went 7-6 in 2022 and was shut out in the Music City Bowl by Iowa.
