Will Levis Holds Private Workout for Colts Brass amid 2023 NFL Draft Rumors

The Indianapolis Colts held a private workout with Kentucky quarterback prospect Will Levis on Thursday, according to Albert Breer of The MMQB.

Per that report, general manager Chris Ballard, head coach Shane Steichen, offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, quarterbacks coach Cam Turner, assistant general manager Ed Dodds and college director Matt Terpening were all in attendance.

The Colts hold the No. 4 overall pick in the NFL draft, and assuming the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans take quarterbacks with the top two picks and the Arizona Cardinals don't trade away the No. 3 selection, the Colts should have two of the top four quarterbacks in this Class of 2023 available to them when they're on the clock.

Those quarterbacks are, in no particular order: Levis, Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Florida's Anthony Richardson.

Most draft pundits have Young and Stroud as the top two players at the position.

The NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah has Young as the top player in the Class of 2023, while Stroud is his QB2 and No. 7 overall prospect on his latest big board. He has Richardson at No. 10 overall and Levis at No. 12.

ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has Young as his top quarterback and No. 3 player overall, while Levis comes in at No. 4 overall, Stroud is No. 5 and Richardson No. 6.

The B/R Scouting Department has Stroud as the top overall quarterback and No. 6 player overall, while Richardson is No. 7 overall, Young comes in at No. 14 and Levis ranks No. 21.

And in his latest mock draft, ESPN's Todd McShay projected Stroud to be the top overall pick to the Panthers, with Young going to the Texans and the Colts trading up to No. 3 to avoid getting leapfrogged by another quarterback-needy team and selecting Richardson.

McShay noted that he's "heard mixed messages regarding the Colts' interest in quarterbacks not named Young and Stroud, but the veteran route just hasn't worked for them." With the exception of Philip Rivers, the Colts have struggled immensely to replace Andrew Luck, with the Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan experiments failing miserably.

McShay has Levis dropping to No. 14, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trading up to land him. He wrote that the young Kentucky quarterback has "some stuff to work on—namely his footwork and turnover avoidance—but he has the physical traits to be a franchise quarterback. He comes from a pro-style offense, has a massive arm and can tuck and run with physicality."

The 23-year-old threw for 5,876 yards, 46 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 38 college games, completing 64.9 percent of his passes.
