Figuring Out Levis’s Speed
Okay, so the other day I got this thought stuck in my head. I was watching some football clips, you know, just scrolling through stuff. Saw Will Levis make a play, looked pretty mobile. And it got me thinking, just how fast is this guy? Like, what’s his 40 time? Seemed like a simple enough question.
So, first thing I did, grabbed my phone, popped open the browser. Typed in the usual stuff, you know, “Will Levis 40 time”. Expected to see a number pop right up, like you usually do for these top draft picks.
But it was kinda weird. I clicked a few links, mostly sports sites and draft profiles. Lots of talk about his arm, his build, all that stuff. But the 40 time? It was either missing, or some sites just had a blank spot or “N/A”. That seemed odd. Most guys, especially quarterbacks wanting to show mobility, run the 40 at the NFL Combine.
Alright, I thought, maybe he skipped the Combine run but did it at his Pro Day. That happens sometimes. So, back to searching. This time I put in “Will Levis pro day 40”. Found some articles talking about his Pro Day performance at Kentucky. They mentioned his great arm strength on display, throwing bombs downfield. But again, reading through the reports… nothing about a 40-yard dash. Seems he opted out of running it there too.
This was getting frustrating. Why wouldn’t he run? Every analyst talks about speed these days.
Digging a Bit Deeper
So, no official Combine time, no official Pro Day time. What gives? I started looking through fan forums and discussion threads. You know how those places are, sometimes people dig up obscure info. Found a lot of chatter:
- Some people were guessing based on his game film.
- Others mentioned seeing unofficial hand times from way back, maybe high school or early college, but nothing concrete.
- There was talk about GPS tracking data from his college games, which clocked him pretty fast on certain plays, maybe in the high 4.6s or low 4.7s range for top speed, but that’s not the same as a 40-yard dash time.
Basically, after digging around for a while, I came to a conclusion. There isn’t an official, widely recognized 40-yard dash time for Will Levis like you have for many other players recorded at the Combine or a Pro Day. He just didn’t run it publicly during that pre-draft process.
It’s a bit strange, honestly. But I guess his team figured his tape showed enough mobility, or they didn’t want to risk a time that might hurt his stock. So, the bottom line is, there’s no official number out there. You just have to watch him play and decide for yourself if he’s got the speed you’d expect. Kinda anticlimactic after all that searching, but hey, that’s how it goes sometimes. You look for a simple number, and end up finding out there isn’t one.
