Will Levis was still available when the Atlanta Falcons were on the clock at No. 8 overall in the 2023 NFL draft, but he reportedly was not one of the only two quarterbacks the NFC South team was willing to take with that pick.
"I've talked to a few people who believe Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud might have been the only passers Atlanta would have thought twice about had they dropped to No. 8," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. "But overall, the Falcons were pretty set on building around Desmond Ridder."
Atlanta instead selected Texas running back Bijan Robinson.
