NFL Draft prospect savaged by pundit over shirtless social media snaps

Chiefs beat Eagles to win Super Bowl – Andrew Gamble reports

Top ten NFL Draft hopeful Will Levis has been slammed by Colin Cowherd for posting shirtless pictures on social media showing off his ripped physique. Cowherd has warned the 23-year-old that the post could scare off suitors having spoken to a head coach, two general managers and a scout. 

Kentucky quarterback Levis, 23, has been a starter for the last two seasons after transferring from Penn State and is expected to be highly sought after in the NFL Draft later this month. In fact, he’s visiting the Las Vegas Raiders’ facility on Monday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Raiders have the No.7 pick in the first round. However, Levis’ gun show could come back to bite him, being slammed by Cowherd for looking like a “meathead”. Cowherd believes being a ripped quarterback could hinder Levis as you want “fluidity” and “range of motion”.

Media personality Cowherd fumed on The Herd: “The knock on Will Levis is his decision-making during games. He might get good grades in college, but he makes bad decisions… Now, he’s releasing pictures and showing how jacked he is. There are no great quarterbacks in league history who look like bodybuilders, EVER.

“You want fluidity, range of motion, NOT a bodybuilder. Some smaller quarterbacks, like a Jalen Hurts, to ease the pain of all the shots have bulked up. Russell Wilson has bulked up, he’s not ripped. Will Levis probably thinks ‘I’m the man!’, and NFL executives I talk to think ‘you’re the man with no self-awareness.’ He went to the Combine or Pro Day and has got the sleeves off. 

“I’m sure a lot of you out there also thought Johnny Manziel ‘coolness’ was a thing, Baker’s ego was a thing, and Cam’s ego and style was a thing. It turned off the smart guys I listen to. The smart guys I talked to, the ‘gun show’ stuff is a turn-off. Peyton Manning, Brady, Ben, that’s not what it’s about. This is a lack of self-awareness. Maybe he’s surrounded by too many of his guys and too many of his yes men.

“You don’t wanna be doing too many pictures in your bathroom like every loser on the internet after your workout to show how jacked you are. Have you seen CJ Stroud’s quotes about wanting to be the ‘face of a franchise’, and ‘I want to be a leader’? Will Levis is like ‘LOOK AT ME! SHIRT OFF, BATHROOM, GUN SHOW!’ Name me the great quarterbacks who were ripped? 

“I’ve talked to a head coach, two GMs, and a scout, none of them like this at all. Two of them have a chance to draft him or pass on him. Go ask Laremy Tunsil about being on the internet. What you’re trying to do is send out messages and images— ‘I’m mature and focused about the right things.’ Shirt off, bathroom? That’s what a meathead in New Jersey does to show off to his boys.”

Levis has taken to Twitter to address the reasoning behind posting the ripped snaps. “This post is mainly to just show love and appreciation to the people who brought me up from a very deep point in the rollercoaster of what is every athletes career,” Levis wrote. “We goin’ up now!”
