The highly anticipated Day 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft did not go as planned for Kentucky quarterback Will Levis. He was widely regarded as one of the top four QBs in his class and was among the 17 players invited to the event. Levis had even been rumored to potentially be the second QB to be selected, with the Texans as a possible destination.
Reddit Rumors and Expectations
The excitement surrounding Levis’s draft position reached new heights when an out-of-nowhere rumor surfaced on Reddit, suggesting that he might be the second QB off the board, potentially to the Texans. This fueled the anticipation for the first day of the draft, with many eager to see if the speculation held any truth.
Day 1 Disappointment
However, disappointment ensued when Day 1 concluded with the headline “Will Levis goes undrafted” plastered over newspapers. While three quarterbacks – Bryce Young to the Panthers, C.J. Stroud to the Texans, and Anthony Richardson to the Colts – were drafted, Levis was disappointingly left waiting for his name to be called.
Levis’s Future Prospects
Despite the unexpected outcome on Day 1, there is still hope for Levis to be picked up in the later rounds. As the draft continues, teams and fans alike will watch closely to see if this talented quarterback finds a new home in the NFL. For now, Levis remains an undrafted player, eager to prove his worth and secure a spot on a team.
