If you’ve been paying attention over the last year, you may be surprised by a name that has crept up some way-too-early 2023 NFL draft boards: Kentucky quarterback Will Levis.
He doesn’t have the production of QB class peers C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young, but the hype grew anyway over the offseason. To find the main source of that hype, you have to first go back to Kentucky’s pro day in March, where draft-eligible former Wildcats worked out for NFL scouts in preparation for the 2022 draft. Thanks to a rule change that allowed undeclared players to work out for scouts as well (Young and Stroud did the same thing at their school’s pro days), Levis was put through a last-minute throwing session with a teammate.
