Will Levis Scouting Report: Summary
Athletic, well-built quarterback. Epitomizes the "bet on what you've got" approach -- very strong arm, ability to throw into tight windows.
At Kentucky, he played in schemes close to the ideas of Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, so should adapt pretty quickly to NFL demands.
One of his major problems has been his high number of losses, but they are partly the fault of his team's linemen and receivers.
Will Levis doesn't make the best decisions at times, and there are problems with his throwing mechanics as well. Levis has talent and great physicality, but it will take time to develop. He could be the next Josh Allen or another Carson Wentz.
