Top 5 NFL draft fits for Kentucky QB Will Levis
5. Detroit Lions
Questions have surrounded the Lions quarterback situation dating back to their initial trade for Jared Goff in 2021. While last year’s starter helped transform the team into a near playoff contender, long-term answers still remain as the group goes forward. Head coach Dan Campbell possibly stoked the flames, as well, saying the team won’t be ruling on a potential option.
“What he’s done is—and what we were hopeful and thought we were going to get—is a guy who, he’s our guy,” Campbell told CBS Sports. “He’s bought us time here. We believe we can win with Jared Goff. And in the meantime, we also know he’s not going to be here for the next 10 years. It’s not like Jared Goff is a rookie. So certainly our eyes are on potentially a quarterback.”
Levis could be that guy for Detroit who currently holds the No. 6 and No. 18 picks in the upcoming first round. The Kentucky quarterback could provide the Lions offense something that hasn’t been unlocked under Goff, with his ability to work the ball down field.
