For most of the 2023 NFL Draft process, Will Levis was considered one of the top quarterbacks in the class. If he wasn't going to be picked by the fifth selection, he was a shoo-in as a top-10 selection at worst.
So how'd we get here? Why is the former Kentucky signal caller now out of the first round?
Well there could be a few reasons. ESPN's Chris Mortensen says an injury that kept him out of a couple games this season might be the reason.
Will Levis' left toe that caused him to miss two games last year was “problematic ” for one team that considered him.
Levis says the “toe has healed” and good to go.
Another team believes Levis could manage it but thought surgery would need discussion after season.
