2023 NFL Draft: Sauce Gardner sends encouraging message to Will Levis

Will Levis has become one of the storylines of the NFL Draft, as the Kentucky quarterback, who was expected by some to be a top 5 pick, was not picked in the first round.
Levis’ situation has caused some to share some empathy toward him, and that includes outspoken New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner. “Will Levis… God makes no mistakes. You will be great.”

Besides the issues about Levis leading into the draft, mostly around decision making and not being able to win the starting job at Penn State, another report surfaced Thursday night.
ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that Levis’ left toe that caused him to miss two games last year was “problematic” for one team that considered him. Levis says the “toe has healed” and good to go. Another team believes Levis could manage it but thought surgery would need discussion after season. Levis disagrees.”
Will Levis had almost zero chance to *not* be picked in the first round, according to ESPN Analytics.
