Straight off the top of his media availability at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine on Friday, quarterback Will Levis was asked about the Carolina Panthers. And it seems as though he enjoyed his time with them earlier this week.
“Yeah, it’s fun,” he said of breaking down film with head coach Frank Reich. “And Josh McCown was in there too, so they kind of have him explain the offense and then have me relay it back to them. I think it’s a great way for them to kinda figure out my knowledge and then also learn whatever I can from them as well.”
McCown, of course, was hired as the team’s quarterbacks coach back on Feb. 10. But even before that (right before that, actually) McCown broke down film of the University of Kentucky product for Underdog Fantasy’s Scheme in late January.
“I would say stature and arm strength and arm efficiency,” McCown said of Levis’ strengths. “This guy doesn’t move a lot to make the ball come out fast. He’s very efficient in his motion and in his mechanics. And I would say, as a first look—that’s the thing that jumped out at me initially, and I think you see that on tape. There’s a lot of throwing power with this guy.”
Oh, and Levis certainly knows it—as he said he’s got a cannon and is ready to show it off. So in that case, clear the deck for tomorrow.
