Kentucky quarterback Will Levis stole the show at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday thanks to a rocket arm that wowed viewers during the throwing portion of his day.
Levis is one of the top signal caller prospects in this year’s draft and a strong contender for a top 10 overall. He improved his draft inventory on Saturday based on an outstanding performance.
He measured in at 6’4″ and 229 pounds and registered a 34″ vertical jump and a 10’4″ long jump. He has a hand size of 10⅝ inches and an arm length of 32 inches.
The physical talent is clearly there for Levis, who set the second fastest throw of the day (59 mph) behind Anthony Richardson of Florida (60km/h).
He showed off that arm on some effortless deep balls at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium.

Will Levis currently leads all QBs in the NFL Combine’s fastest speed at 59 MPH.
For context, Patrick Mahomes threw 55 mph.
Justin Herbert threw 55 mph.
Lamar Jackson threw 49 mph.
Only Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen have thrown faster than Levis since 2016.

My last review of #NFLCombine-Training by Will Levis of Kentucky QB:
-Started off hot and was clearly the best QB in the group
-In the middle, aimed too much at the ball and/or snapped it
-Finished strong and performed well overall#NFL Draft

The folks at Lucas Oil love Will Levis, Kentucky QB. Started clapping for him before stepping forward to throw the deep balls. #NFLCombine
