Will Levis curtly dismissed wild Reddit rumors about his draft stock
It’s the underlying story of the 2023 NFL Draft brewing into something potentially massive.
Where and when will Will Levis be drafted?
After recent days have seen the former Kentucky product’s stock rise inexplicably — seemingly due to strange manipulation on Reddit — Levis has turned into a center of attention as the draft looms.
On Wednesday, the draft prospect was asked about these latest developments. While Levis didn’t outright deny the possibility he could hear his name really early in Kansas City on Thursday night, he did take the time to dismiss the wild rumors with a curt response.
At the very least, we have a clarification (kind of?) about what is happening here:
Will Levis on the Reddit rumor that he had told family he would be Panthers’ pick: “I don’t want to speak on it too much. But just don’t believe everything you read on the Internet.”

Honestly, that’s just a good rule of thumb for anything in our digital age: Don’t believe you read everything on the internet … including murmurs about the draft!
For what it’s worth, sportsbooks currently have Levis as the third-most likely pick (+800) by the Carolina Panthers at No. 1 overall.
Whether that actually manifests into anything, well, don’t believe Reddit! Heck, maybe don’t even believe what I’m saying here. We are technically the internet, and we’re all just playing the guessing game as draft silly season reaches its natural conclusion.
