The last Kentucky quarterback to be drafted was Andre Woodson who was drafted in the sixth round back in 2008. As for the last first-round quarterback selection, that would be Tim Couch back in 1999, who is also the program’s lone No. 1 overall pick.

A projected top 10 pick off the 2023 NFL Draft Board anywhere you look, Will Levis has the chance to, as most Kentucky fans know, change the outlook for the program in this year’s draft.

With that said, let’s take a brief look at some of the teams that could potentially draft the quarterback and what would be the best fit for him.

Washington Commanders

Washington seems to be the best fit for Levis by far.

A young playoff team a year ago, placing a guy like Levis with the already established receiving core in Terry McLaurin, Kurtis Samuel, and Jahan Dotson, would give Washington all the potential in the world, not even to mention a defense led by young star Chase Young.

No matter if Wentz or Heinicke holds the starting job towards the end of the year, Washington will be looking for a QB towards the draft and Will Levis would be a great fit.

Indianapolis Colts

Depending on if the Colts finish their season the way they have started so far, they will very well be picking towards the top of the 2023 NFL draft.

It’s uncertain how long the cult will try the failing Matt Ryan experience, but it’s looking quite probable the team will be eyeing a quarterback in April.

Being drafted by a team that nearly missed the playoffs a year ago would surround Will Levis with all the veterans he needs. All pro talents in Jonathan Taylor and Shaquille Leonard will give Levis a great chance of success in the NFL, leading a storied franchise in Indianapolis.

New England Patriots

Given the fact that they had a guy named Tom Brady for nearly two decades, a QB controversy is something very unfamiliar in New England.

In a very similar situation as the one the Colts have, no matter who is the starting quarterback between Bailey Zappe and Mac Jones, the Pats could very well be shopping for a quarterback next season.

Not a lot of star talent in Foxborough, having head coach Bill Belichick puts any Patriots team in a great spot to succeed, specifically giving Will Levis a good chance to have a great professional career.

As of right now, New England seems to be in a rebuilding situation. Drafting Levis high in the draft could change their historic program’s trajectory.

Detroit Lions

Amongst the other teams, Detroit has one of the best chances of landing Levis.

The Lions are the second-youngest team in the NFL. Aidan Hutchinson, Jeff Okudah, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and D’Andre Swift are amongst the young core full of stars that would match great with Levis.

Putting a talent like Levis in what is currently the 7th most efficient offense in the NFL would make for a great chance of success in Detroit.

Despite an underwhelming 7-5 season, limited by injuries, NFL teams are still very high on the Wildcat QB and he is a guy who’d pretty much positively impact any failing franchise.

The Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, and the San Francisco 49ers are also a couple of teams who could take a chance on Levis in April’s Draft, but would not provide as much potential as the prior franchises listed.
