Kentucky quarterback Will Levis was expected to be a top-five pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the things that transpired in the first round left everyone stunned.
Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson were drafted with the first four picks, but no other team stepped up to get Levis. He went undrafted in the first round, and will now have to wait for his chance at least till the second day.
Levis decided not to attend the second day of the 2023 NFL Draft, and faced a lot of heat from fans for it. Here's how social media reacted to it:

Fans were obsessed with Will Levis' family present in the green room for the draft, which is why they wanted him to be there on the second day as well. From Levis' point of view, this was the correct decision, as no one expected him to go undrafted beyond the first round.
Levis was the favorite to be the second overall pick just a few days ago, but he got drafted by the Tennessee Titans in the second round. It was a huge surprise for everyone.
Teams looking to trade up to get Will Levis
The Tennessee Titans traded up to get Levis and he is expected to be their starting quarterback. There have been reports of them losing faith in Malik Willis and looking to move on from Ryan Tannehill.
The AFC South will now feature Trevor Lawrence, Will Levis, Anthony Richardson & C.J. Stroud as their quarterbacks and their rivalry will be quite fascinating to watch next season.
During his collegiate career, Levis threw for 5,876 yards for 46 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. There is no doubt that he will be extremely motivated to prove everyone wrong who passed on him during the draft. Mike Vrabel now has his quarterback, and he can develop Levis into a great one.
