It can’t be easy to be one of the bigger name prospects at the NFL Draft — a quarterback with a cannon for an arm, no less — and have to sit there for hours in the green room and not hear your name called.
The hope is that Will Levis — who wasn’t the only one in Kansas City who didn’t get selected — will hear his name sometime early on Friday to end the slide that was surprising for the Kentucky QB.
Cameras kept coming back to look at him all night and there was his family and significant other comforting him. Let’s take a look back:

As much as I dislike how much Will Levis was overhyped, I wouldn’t wish this on him.
Maybe it was his ego, idk. But I blame the analysts like Mel Kiper who overhyped him more.
Just sucks watching a guy get his dreams crushed. pic.twitter.com/Ff3Gvwp9jH
