2023 NFL DRAFT: WILL LEVIS

By John Mesenbrink

Kentucky (SR), QB

As we inch closer to the NFL draft, there are increasingly louder murmurs that former Wildcat Will Levis could be the #2 QB taken off the board in the 2023 NFL Draft, and that only may be due to the fact that Houston may have their eye on him rather than the other options. In 11 games as a senior at Kentucky, Levis threw for 2416 yards, 19 TDs and a completion percentage of 65. He’s a willing runner, especially around the goal line. CHUBZBURGER sees Levis as a top 5 QB taken off the board, but he may find himself initially taking some time on an NFL bench learning the ropes. With NFL comps that vary in Josh Allen to Mitch Trubisky to Jay Cutler, it’ll be interesting to see how this former Wildcat’s NFL career pans out.
