Why is top QB prospect's draft stock falling?

Although Will Levis is a consensus top-four quarterback and a projected first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Kentucky signal-caller has been reportedly dropping down draft boards.

Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud and Alabama’s Bryce Young are expected to go No. 1 and 2 overall, but after that, draft experts agree it’s Florida’s Anthony Richardson who’s ascended to the third-best QB option in the draft class.

Multiple reports indicate that NFL scouts and coaches question Levis’ ability to read defenses and are worried about his propensity for turnovers. The 24-year-old QB threw 23 combined interceptions in his two years at Kentucky, and he had only four games this season without throwing at least one interception.

“Levis is the one that worries me of those top four quarterbacks…mainly because when I watched Levis’ games, there's far too many turnover-worthy plays,” Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt recently said on “The Herd.” 

“He's just careless with the football, he reminds me a little bit of Jameis Winston when he came out of Florida State. Remember all the interceptions that Winston had? And that has certainly perpetuated itself in his career in the National Football League. And I think it's one of the main reasons why he has suffered from a lack of consistency in his career.”
