Will Levis Being No. 1 Pick In 2023 Draft Odds Skyrocket After Insane Reddit Rumor

The NFL Draft is 72 hours away and the rumors are at an all-time high.

Yesterday, the odds of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis going No. 1 overall sat at +4000 but then an insane rumor surfaced on Reddit and it changed everything.

The reddit post was made on Tuesday saying that the Kentucky product was telling friends and family that the Panthers will take him atop the draft on Thursday.

After the rumor went viral, Levis’ odds of being drafted No. 1 overall jumped from +4000 to +400 on all major sports books:

But while a social media rumor is one thing, a shift by Vegas oddsmakers is certainly noteworthy. And per DraftKings this Tuesday morning, Levis now owns the second-best odds to go No. 1 overall behind Bryce Young, with his odds to be picked first improving to +400. 

Thursday can’t come soon enough!
