Sunday Headlines: Will Levis Draft Stock Edition

The NFL Draft continues to grow more and more interesting for Kentucky fans in recent years with multiple Wildcats hearing their names called on draft night.

So when will Cats fans get to a point of full investment in the first round of the draft? According to some experts, it may be as soon as next year.

TheDraftNetwork.com, who obviously specializes in drafts, currently projects Kentucky quarterback Will Levis as a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, going 6th overall to the New York Giants. That is not shocking when you look at his size, skill set, and toughness.

If the Giants meet Vegas’ expectations, then things did not go right with Daniel Jones in a make-or-break season. Levis is built like an action figure with terrific mobility and arm talent. Head coach Brian Daboll had a lot of success with a player like that in Buffalo.

But with a few years of remaining eligibility, Kentucky fans much have mixed emotions about Levis having enough success to make the team successful while also having enough room to improve to stick around for a while.
