โ€œWill Levis and the Colts, there is a little bit of buzz leaguewide about that pairing at No. 4 overall. I texted with Kentucky coach Mark Stoops, who coached Levis for a few years with the Wildcats, he said, โ€˜I can just say the Colts have done their homework on Levisโ€™ and left it at that,โ€ Fowler said, via Bleacher Report

Fowler adds based on his conversations with other teams, Levis is believed to check a lot of boxes that the Colts are looking for. They are widely expected to take a quarterback with the No. 4 pick but barring a surprise wonโ€™t have a chance at either Ohio Stateโ€™s C.J. Stroud or Alabamaโ€™s Bryce Young.

โ€œHe fits the prototype of what the Colts have typically liked in a quarterback. They like that big, sturdy, pocket-passer. So, heโ€™s got that in spades,โ€ Fowler said. โ€œHeโ€™s not for everybody. Not every team has loved his makeup or the way he plays, but heโ€™s got a lot of supporters as well.โ€

Although the consensus has him as a rung below the top prospects, there have been reports that Levis has huge fans in some NFL buildings. Heโ€™s expected to be a first-round pick and could go in the top five or ten picks.
