My biggest complaint of Levis was he never seemed to see that underneath LB despite being a senior QB.

I'll remember Will Levis running for 1,956 Touchdowns against UL and absolutely rubbing that trash can of a fanbases nose in it. If he never plays a snap in the NFL, I'll always have that.
I'd be more than a little irritated with my representation if I were Levis.
The tenor he carried into those interviews seems to be a calculated decision, at least on the surface. Considering that everyone around the program claims that he is far from arrogant, it seemed contrived and I can't imagine he just decided to do that on his own.

Tbh, I didn’t like his “schtick” last year. The “bro” thing just isn’t cool. Plus, when he would lose his shit on teammates, rubbed me the wrong way. Lord knows how many reads and mistakes Will made. Chill out.
The draft is always fascinating. Colts take a total project/wish/hope at #4, and one the leagues best defenses adds Jalen Carter at #9.

I think he is a little arrogant and maybe turned it up a notch to show “leadership.” Either way it didn’t work
How can you hate on the dude for last year? He played through injury including popping his shoulder back in place mid game. His fall is unfortunate but loved the dude's time here.
Well, he wasn’t that awesome for one thing.
Injuries, OL, and all that…pretty sure Will Levis wouldn’t make any excuses for his play.
He’s tough af. Didn’t show a lot of growth reading defenses.

He had a swiss cheese O-line and arguably the worst OC Stoops has had trying to play mad scientist all year. I'm sure that contributed to his disappointment throughout the year.
I want to see the number of interceptions he had that were tipped, it felt like 1/3 of them were. Dude was extremely unlucky.

A QB flipped out on his teammates, damn! Must of been a first, and is certainly a character flaw.
All that matter today, we will learn something about him now. If he is the entitled arrogant overbearing jackass this will send him on a negative path. But, if he comes out of this head high and works his way to be a starter and contributes(doesn’t have to be Brady, Manning, Mahomes) and helps a team win then he is who I think he is.
I can’t wait to see it for him honestly, big fan, and please let Vegas be right this time as the Titans are now the odds in favorite to draft him.

I’m an absolute nobody and Will was yes sir no sir to me, a very respectable young man. I’m a pretty for judge of character. That’s a solid dude. I hope he merks people for years.
-again with the o-line thing, it was subpar by UK standards...which are pretty high at this point...but it wasn't the primary problem.
-if you wanna deflect/explain away #7's issues...I get it...blame the oc...but for God's sake falling back to the trope that everything is the line's fault is simplistic.

And they weren't just awful because they were inferior to the guys ahead of them, we ran a legitimately confusing blocking scheme that I'm pretty confident Yenser either didn't know how to coach or simply let Rich handle. Either way, when you're missing assignments vs. Miami OH and giving up the pressure we gave up, there's an issue.
I didn't say they were the only problem, but they certainly made him look like a different QB back there.

I don’t know if anyone else still listens to terrestrial radio anymore but I highly recommend the new 96.1 The Hound. It’s an Alternative/Americana station with a focus on Kentucky artists.
Our OC was complete shit last year.
Our OLine was complete shit last year.
Our WR’s, while talented, were extremely young.
Levis was hurt.
Levis made a lot of poor throws.
All the above is true.

-got it, don't necessarily disagree...100% agree on the scheme.
^I'm thinking about the in game threads/dumbasses around me at home games that would bitch about the line when Will would roll *into* an edge rusher instead of stepping into a solidly formed pocket*...or hang on to the ball for more than 4 seconds** waiting for someone to get open (again scheme is a large part of the blame, biggest imo).
*happened a lot.
**that's what you're gonna get in the SEC.

You might think this is an Onion article but nope, it is real:
Over the last few weeks, Levis had been experiencing what automatically comes with his whiteness — privilege. Slowly, but surely, his name was skyrocketing up mock drafts, as he became an intriguing prospect that teams were starting to take more seriously. There were internet rumors that he could go as high as No. 1 overall. And ESPN’s analytics had him destined to be a Top 10 pick.
It didn’t happen. We don’t know when Levis will be drafted. It could be on Day Two or even Day Three. Your guess is as good as mine, as we’ve never quite seen anything like this, with the “coveted” white quarterback having to wait in purgatory while his Black counterparts celebrated at their draft parties.

It’s almost like they’re desperately trying to get you to click their link.
You thought I was aggrieved *before* reading that deadspin article. Well, I'm much more aggrieved now.
Dan Orlovsky made the same point today how it’s cool the Hurts/Mahomes were the Super Bowl QBs, the top 3 QBs drafted were black and asked Stephen A to correct him if he got out of line for the statement.
Stephen A furthered it by saying it used to be all white boys and the black QB was in Levis shoes so for the script to flip is gratifying.
I mean, whatever! Until about 5 years ago 90% of the QBs were actually white so kudos!

To be fair tho it is cool to finally see some black players starting to have success in the nfl
I hate white people, so it's cool to see them get knocked down a peg or two.
I knew what I saw in the first 2021 Iowa bowl game with WanDale. Levis was a first rounder. His performance was sublime against a real defense (as evidenced in this years draft).
Scang, OLine, no CRod back until Will was already skiddish with injury and skinny WRs that got no separation were as green as chlorophyll. I truly feel bad for Levis. He’s a legend by my standards post-Terry.
There were plays Will got destroyed because Smoke or LaVell missing blocks… not their fault as Scangs scheme was inept. You can’t rely on tiny dudes one on one against SEC edges.
Can’t wait til Will plays in the league. Kinda bullish like UK Basketball players shine on the next level. Last year was a shit show.

Definitely happy for all the blacks finally getting a shot in the NFL. What a world.
How bout this. I like seeing who’s the best at their position and I don’t give a eff what color they are. If you’re a DB on the Pack you can light someone up if you can, please and thank you.
His previous article on the MLB problem and reasons they shouldn't put an expansion franchise in Utah is a doozy.
The faithful and obvious pick Forte this Saturday, but Keeneland lover in me wants to put money on Tapit Trice.
Love Kingsbarns and Skinner to have nice odds, too. Take them underneath.
Anyone that wants an EARLY, EARLY racing form sheet (without post positions, of course), email me at mattjarrells@gmail.com.

If actually like to read that, assuming he makes fun of Mormons and their aversion to beer.
Deadspin is basically a shell of what it used to be. Everything that made that website great is long since dead and buried.
That and Gizmodo used to be daily reads for me about 10 years ago. Don’t think I’ve read an article there in 8 or 9 years.
That’s King Llama for you- arrogant misogynist.
Titans trading up has to be a good sign.
Didn't even think about going up against Richardson/Stroud/Lawrence. That should be fun.

I really like Vrabel as his coach tbh
As a titan fan. I am giddy. I think Levis will be a great pro.
