#7 Will Levis, Kentucky, 6’3’’ 232 lbs.

• 2,406 Yds, 19TDs, 10Ints
• Games watched: Tennessee, UGA, 2021 UGA, Florida

Film Thoughts: Quick trigger release, Uses his legs well, Willing to take contact, Decision making can be inconsistent. Deep ball velocity a tad inconsistent, really strong play action game. Throws very dangerous passes. Reading coverages are a work in progress. Needs to throw with more anticipation. Short accuracy is good. Medium throws are troublesome in terms of putting his receiver in trouble and the anticipation isn’t quite there. Pocket presence is not great, but knows when to escape the pocket, can throw on the run but its not great. Has pretty good speed, curious to see the 40 at the combine. Internal clock has to speed up for the NFL. Decent throws outside the numbers. Can flip hips pretty fast.

​Will Levis is a big, strong player with an arm that can get him into trouble at the next level. The 2022 version of him struggled mightily with a new offensive coordinator and below average O-line. The 2021 version of him is the player that you’re drafting for as he looked much more comfortable throwing in play-action heavy scheme. The short throws are typically on time and the medium throws tend to be hospital balls. The deep ball is very 50/50 and the inconsistency in whether he floats it or not is there. The lack in decisiveness killed him as his turnovers came from a lot of hesitation. His footwork can be inconsistent but he has a quick trigger. He tends to get away with a lot of mistakes that wouldn’t work in the NFL. I can understand the appeal with his tools, but in order to have long term success, he needs to work on the tools upstairs.
