Someone gave Will Levis some bad intel ahead of the NFL Draft.
The Kentucky standout sat through the whole first round of the draft in the green room, yet no one took him with any of the first 31 selections.
Notably, ESPN projected Levis had a 92% chance of being taken in the top 10, making this turn of events even more surprising.

Levis had the fifth-highest odds to be the No. 1 pick ahead of the draft, and he was heavily expected to be the Indianapolis Colts’ selection at No. 4 overall.
The Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Las Vegas Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks were also rumored to be interested in bolstering their quarterback position, but that wasn’t the case.
Levis had drawn mixed reviews throughout the whole process, and some scouts did show concerns about him being a first-round pick.
Nonetheless, his stock has risen drastically over the past three weeks, so his slide was rather shocking.
Levis didn’t have the most impressive tenure as a starter with the Kentucky Wildcats.
But to be fair, he had one of the worst offensive lines in the nation, not to mention a subpar receiving corps.
His athleticism and strength are remarkable, and some scouts compare him to Josh Allen.
Because of those physical tools, the upside seems to be there.
The knock on him continues to be his lack of production and some questionable decisions he made on the field last season.
Even so, barring another major surprise, he should be off the board by the end of the second round on Friday.
