Colts Rumors: Will Levis Viewed as 'Good Fit' by 'Multiple Teams' amid NFL Draft Buzz

Will Levis has slipped into the consensus No. 4 slot among quarterbacks in the 2023 NFL draft, but he's not expected to slide far.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported "multiple teams" believe Levis could be a "good fit" for the Colts with the fourth overall pick.

C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson are currently the favorites to be the top three selections in that order. Richardson's status at No. 3 will be dependent on a team reaching a trade with the Arizona Cardinals, and the Colts are a possibility there to move up one slot if they're not sold on Levis.

Quarterbacks have never gone with the first four picks of an NFL draft.

Levis split his collegiate career at Penn State and Kentucky, spending the last two seasons as a starter for the Wildcats. While few would quibble his elite physical prowess, Levis has never backed it up with top-level on-field performance. He threw for 2,406 yards and 19 touchdowns against 10 interceptions, struggling mightily in games against elite opponents.

The Colts look increasingly likely to address their quarterback position through the draft, barring a blockbuster trade for Lamar Jackson. Indianapolis has not had the same quarterback lead the team in passing in consecutive years in seven seasons.

Matt Ryan was the primary starting quarterback in 2022 and was released last month. The Colts' current quarterback depth chart consists of Gardner Minshew, Sam Ehlinger and Nick Foles, none of whom are considered candidates to start next season.

Jackson has been a seemingly viable option from the outset, but it's possible the Colts are waiting for the draft process to play itself out before making a trade for the 2019 NFL MVP. While Jackson's future remains unresolved, it'll be interesting to see how the quarterback situation plays out.
