Kentucky star Will Levis leapfrogged Ohio State's C.J. Stroud in the newest 2023 mock draft from NFL.com's Chad Reuter.
Reuter projected the Houston Texans to select Levis with the No. 2 overall pick, with Stroud going fourth overall to the Indianapolis Colts.
Levis has been considered a first-round prospect for basically the entirety of the predraft process, but there seemed to be a clear gulf between him and the pair of Stroud and Bryce Young.
Now, momentum is steadily building behind Levis to come off the board with the second pick. Caesars Sportsbook listed him as the betting favorite for that slot in a set of updated odds, which caught the attention of many fans.
