Will Levis, who hails from Massachusetts, was not selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. On Thursday night in Kansas City, the Kentucky quarterback did not hear his name called when it was his turn.
Will Levis, a quarterback for the University of Kentucky, was passed over during the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Mel Kiper of ESPN, who had him ranked fourth overall on his final giant board earlier this week, was one among the many draft experts who believed that he might be selected in the top five overall players available.
ESPN reports that there was a less than one percent possibility that Levis would be selected at a position lower than number 22. The quarterback, who stands at 6 feet 4 inches and weighs 229 pounds, was one of 17 players invited to attend the first draft round in Kansas City.
Levis played football for two seasons at Penn State before moving to Kentucky. That year, Kentucky finished with a record of 7-6 and was defeated by Iowa in the Music City Bowl.
According to Trevor Hass of The Boston Globe, he was born in Newton, spent the first six years of his life in North Attleborough, and then attended and graduated from high school in Connecticut.
