Three of the four perceived quarterbacks threw at their respective pro days this week. Florida’s Anthony Richardson is the last to go next week. Here is a recap of the pro days to already occur:
Friday, March 24: Kentucky
Houston and Indianapolis have not been sending their top decision-makers to these quarterback pro days and that is likely by design. Some teams prefer to operate privately and hold their cards close to the vest while others are less worried about the imagery and take the opportunity to gain more intel. When the Bears selected Mitch Trubisky in 2017, they had hardly met with the quarterback prior to commissioner Roger Goodell announcing his name on stage.
Seattle and Carolina each had their head coach and general manager in town. The same was true of Tennessee, which met with the quarterback privately. Levis and family dined with the entire Panthers contingent Thursday night. He met separately with Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels and other key decision-makers, including assistant general manager and former Kentucky football player Champ Kelly.
On Friday, he measured 6-foot-3 7/8 and 231 pounds. His throwing session was last on the schedule. Some were put off by his decision to scramble out of the pocket to make throws at the NFL Combine, but that was to show his foot was healthier more than anything.

His accuracy was generally good but the ball placement was lacking. There were some passes in which the ball was not out in front of the route-runner, halting momentum in the process. Touch was not always there on his throws.
The Penn State transfer showed off his ability to make throws on the run, including a beautiful 50-yard completion up the right sideline.

The quarterback was able to throw 60-plus yards and, either intentionally or accidentally, hit the ceiling of the indoor facility at one point.
When the dust settled, Levis did enough to solidify his claim of being a first-round pick in my opinion.
Aside from the quarterback, a few other Wildcats stood out. Running back Chris Rodriguez ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52…
