Ryan Leaf, whose NFL career did not pan out, cited Levis as a winner of the first day during a segment on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
Leaf, the second overall pick after Peyton Manning in 1998 whose NFL career did not pan out, actually cited Levis as a big winner of the first day during a segment on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.”
“Mine is a bit of a departure, OK, simply because I think Will Levis won the first round,” Leaf said. “… If he were a top-five pick, the word ‘bust,’ if it doesn’t work out, is something I can relate to. And it sticks with you.” Leaf mentioned Drew Brees and Derek Carr as quarterbacks who were picked in the second round and went on to achieve success in the NFL.
“Adversity like that, maybe humiliation like that, you grow from it,” Leaf said. “You learn how to deal with it in a positive and healthy way, just like what it’s going to be like to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Because you’re going to fail, you are, on the biggest stage possible. And when you don’t have those unrealistic expectations, I think this is a huge thing for Will Levis, and I think you can look at it as an entire positive moving forward.
