To the untrained eye, Will Levis pretty damn good at his pro day. Hope he goes to the Colts if they don’t sign Lamar.

Did not see his pro day-nobody doubts his arm strength, speed etc. Key question is how he responds to NFL pressure and defenses and does well in the clutch. Who the heck can predict that?
according to a former director of college scouting in the NFL (CJ....?) on NFL radio this AM he made the case the Levis is the best of the bunch, as he did more with less. The other guys (Stroud etc) were throwing to 5 stars while he only had 2 n 3 stars to throw to. The others always had a clean pocket while he was used to a muddy pocket. So that guy would take Levis over the others. Just his thoughts, not mine.

Wan'Dale was the #87 recruit of his class.
Tayvion was a 4*. Barion Brown #97 in his class. Dane Key also a 4*.

The most apt comp in this regard: offensive line.

He looked very good with a solid OL that had future draft picks on it in '21. He looked average without those guys in '22 when none of the OL were NFL ready.

Saw a rumor the Vikings were interested. They would be a decent spot that wouldn't get him killed and could groom him under Cousins.

Nothing against the young man, but he has never shown the ability to really win at college level. NFL is way tougher. Feel for any team that spends 1st round pick on him.

Most of the comments on twitter are pretty brutal. The naysayers sure aren't just here, lots of criticism and bust projections
Not surprising if you read this board. I’m not overly optimistic about his chances but would love to be wrong (I usually am).

Well his track record at Kentucky wasn’t all that promising

That’s my thinking. Hope I’m wrong but I wouldn’t be taking him in the 1st round.

I just happened to catch it. Levis is built like Frank Zane and throws the ball as far as anyone already in the NFL. The guy’s got a Bradshaw arm.

Ha! A Frank Zane reference - that is awesome.
You fellows referencing Zane from Edwardsville. Frank and Adam were the older guys in the neighborhood, four to six yrs older than my friends. Freshman on the team when Adam was a senior.
