Pros

• Exceptional build for the quarterback position with tremendous muscle mass and athleticism for the position to make him a dual threat.

• A howitzer for an arm when he needs to drive the ball downfield.

 

• He's as dangerous a quarterback as you'll find when he's on the run as he can make defenders miss, break tackles, or simply run over players due to his size. 

 

• Played against SEC defenses in 2022.

 

• Had winning record 2022 in college football despite having one of the least talented rosters available in college footballs toughest conference. 

 

• Tough like an $2 dollar snake at the quarterback position as he will fight through tacklers to make plays and take hits to pick the necessary yardage. 

​

• He has the ability to break off huge runs when he has grass in front of him and is hard to catch and bring down by secondary players due to his size and strength.

​

• He's incredibly dangerous on play action throws as his threat level as a runner forces defenders to come down and defend him, allowing him to hit open receivers.  

​

• He will go down fighting in games he's losing and never seems to give up through a game.

Cons

• Throwing mechanics need considerable tweaking by his coaching staff as far too often his throws too high and low for his receivers to reel in and take off running.

• Higher interception totals than you would like to see compared to passing touchdowns. 

 

• Has trouble with throwing on the run surprisingly as he can struggle to locate targets and set his feet, hence his higher than usual rushing numbers for the position. 

 

• Has issues with reading the field and locating defenders.

 

• He's a big gambler on the football field with his throws which has been hit or miss in terms of production. 

 

• He has propensity for being late on throws

 

• He will take on tacklers head on and try to truck them like a full back which increases his chances for major injury. 

​

• Regressed from his previous year significantly on the stat sheet and didn't appear to improve his overall game in 2022.
• 17 fumbles at the quarterback position in his college career. 
• Has major issues hitting receivers in stride.

Overview

Will Levis has Josh Allen/Justin Herbert potential coming out of college football as his ability to make players with his feet and create magic outside the pocket allowed Kentucky to stay viable in college football in 2022 and his cannon for an arm to go along with his muscular build would make him a top 5 pick if he didn't need so much smoothing out on the mental aspects of the game. Levis has trouble with reading defenses, timing his throws, and throwing accurate catchable passes but his ceiling is so high as a prospect that it's hard not to love what he can bring top the table as an NFL quarterback. While I am not making excuses for him, he did have a much worse roster all around this year as compared to last year with a swiss cheese offensive line nearly got killed decapitated on multiple occasions and forced at times to improvise with defenders in his face which an issue quarterbacks rarely, if ever, overcome which is decent explanation for the regression in 2022. In the right offensive system with a great quarterback coach, Levis could step onto an NFL field like Justin Herbert or Josh Allen and simply start slinging the football around with relative ease as both Allen and Herbert, more so Allen, who rough but highly capable prospects coming out of college. If he can get his issues coached out of his game, your looking at very good franchise quarterback.
