The first round of the 2023 NFL draft gifted fans so many precious moments. Several college quarterbacks who worked day and night to get into the biggest competition on the planet were seen breaking down in happy tears with their families jumping in joy upon getting drafted. However, there were several talented athletes who weren’t able to find any takers on Day 1.

One among them, and probably the most surprising of them all was Will Levis. Will, who had a less than 0.1% chance to go undrafted on day 1 as per ESPN analytics, had no option but to wait patiently throughout the day and then gather more courage in order to walk off empty handed when as many as 40 of his family and friends stared at one another in disbelief.
NFL Insider’s old comments about Will Levis’ social media activity goes viral
As reported by MARCA, the Kentucky quarterback had flown 40 of his friends and family members to Kansas City to attend the draft. However, as time went on and teams kept announcing their picks while showing no interest in Levis, the whole situation got extremely embarrassing for the star athlete. Amidst all this, NFL Insider Colin Cowherd’s weeks old criticism video regarding Levis has started going viral once again.
Weeks ago, Will was breaking the internet by sharing several pictures of him looking absolutely jacked. Instead of a quarterback, he looked like a full-time bodybuilder and while football fans loved it, Colin Cowherd was appalled by the QB’s daily routine of dropping bathroom selfies.
Boy..wasn’t Colin right??https://t.co/Ge5Ct1v0RD

“Will Levis is releasing pictures showing how jacked he is. There are no great QBs in league history that look like bodybuilders,” Colin had stated during an episode of the Herd With Colin Cowherd. “This is a lack of self awareness. Maybe he is surrounded by too many of his yes men. You don’t want to be doing your pictures in the bathroom posing like every loser on the internet,” Colin had added.
Colin Cowherd asked Will Levis to stop with the “Gun Show”
Will was actually able to hog all the limelight by releasing a series of pictures in which he showcased his chiseled abs. However, as Colin had highlighted, “it’s not what it is about in the NFL.” Cowherd had claimed that if one looks back at all the great quarterbacks, they never looked like how Will looks at the moment.
“You want fluidity, range of motion in a quarterback. Look at Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger,” Cowherd had claimed, asking Will to Kindly stop with the “Gun Show.” All in all, there is zero doubt about the fact that Levis is an extremely talented QB and while he had no takers on Day 1, we expect him to find a team on Day 2.
