Con's:
- Concerning accuracy on both short and deep passes
- Lack of pressure awareness when stood in pocket
- Timing issues on crossing routes
- Tendency to go off-script early rather than work through progressions
- Significant regression last year in Lexington – injuries?
The Verdict:
“A challenging eval, Will Levis will split opinion across both Draft Twitter and the NFL. A real team leader and locker room galvaniser, Levis is beloved by his teammates and coaches. There is no question he leaves it all out on the field, and never once offered excuses for a tough final year in Kentucky. He also has the things you cannot teach in size, arm talent and athleticism. Accuracy concerns are legitimate, and there isn’t a big sample size of prospects who improved that significantly at the next level - but the rest of the worries are fundamentals-based and should be cleaned up quickly by a pro coaching staff. There’s a definite bust factor to Levis, and his pecking order in this QB class will vary as a result. But it’s hard not to buy into the Josh Allen hyperbole.”
