Don’t look now, but Will Levis might be the hottest prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft<\/a>. Projected as a top-10 pick early in the pre-draft process, the Kentucky quarterback appeared to slip as Florida’s Anthony Richardson became a popular early-first-round prediction. Now, days after leapfrogging Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud<\/a><\/span> as the betting favorite to go No. 2 overall, Levis’ stock is getting another boost, with oddsmakers giving him easily the second-shortest odds to go No. 1 overall.<\/p>\n

Alabama’s Bryce Young is still a clear favorite to be the first pick of the draft, but Levis is now the most likely alternative, according to Caesars Sportsbook, and it’s not particularly close. Here’s a look at their latest odds for the No. 1 pick as of Tuesday:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bryce Young <\/strong>(-1200)<\/li>\n
  2. Will Levis <\/strong>(+550)<\/li>\n
  3. C.J. Stroud <\/strong>(+2000)<\/li>\n
  4. Anthony Richardson <\/strong>(+3500)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This is the latest indication that Levis is skyrocketing back up draft boards. Just a day earlier, he was +1600 to go No. 1 overall at Caesars, behind Young, Stroud and Richardson. On April 17, he was +2500<\/a><\/span>, even further behind. At one point, weeks ago, multiple NFL teams<\/a> reportedly also had the Kentucky product as the fifth-ranked QB of the class<\/a><\/span>, behind Richardson and Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker.<\/p>\n

    Of course, it’s also possible that Levis has always been highly ranked, and that his perceived drop was precisely that — perceived.<\/p>\n

    CBS Sports senior writer Pete Prisco, for example, believes Levis has a legitimate case to go No. 1 overall<\/a><\/span> to the Panthers<\/a>, who hold the top selection after trading with the Bears. NFL<\/a> executives “like Levis a lot more than they’ve let on,” he argues, and while Young is “the best passer in the class,” his size (5-10, 204) warrants real concern. Big and athletic but erratic, meanwhile, Levis has drawn comparisons to the Bills’ Josh Allen<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
