Polarizing QB Visiting Indianapolis Colts Today

It was reported that the Indianapolis Colts will be visiting with Kentucky quarterback Will Levis on Monday, per Ian Rapoport.

The QB visit schedules over the next few days:
-- The #Colts host Will Levis today.
-- The #Panthers host Levis and CJ Stroud on Tuesday.
-- The #Titans host Anthony Richardson today on a visit.
-- The #Falcons host Richardson Tuesday.
-- The #Ravens host Richardson Wednesday.

The Kentucky prospect has been the subject of both negative and positive criticism from Colts fans, national pundits, and sports news outlets. The fact of the matter is the Colts are the ones who will be making the final choice.

It’s simple to see why Levis could be intriguing to a coach like Shane Steichen and a general manager like Chris Ballard. Levis is a powerful, physical, and determined quarterback that will bring energy and a high-ceiling potential to whoever decides to take the chance on him.

As it’s been mentioned so many times, Steichen preaches words like “explosive,” “vertical,” and “ability to create.” These are three areas that a quarterback with the style of Levis will fill with no issues.

Shane Steichen’s offensive foundation is built around explosives. With the Eagles the last two years, he had the number one explosive offense primarily due to having a dynamic duel threat QB.

After seeing the pinnacle of what he wants, how does he go away from that type of QB?

As mentioned in the tweet from the Horseshoe Huddle’s own Zach Hicks, Steichen can achieve this with a dual-threat QB. Levis fits this description.

Despite the cons that have come with Levis, he does fit the mold of what Steichen wants in a quarterback. With issues in college like taking too many sacks, forcing throws, and trusting in his arm strength too much, a coach like Steichen may be just what Levis needs to shore up those jagged edges of his game to succeed.

The time is approaching for the NFL Draft, and the Colts are dotting all the I’s and crossing all the T’s. Could this visit with Levis pull the Colts toward picking him in the draft? He’s been tied to the Colts this whole time and will be even more so now with this meeting.
