The New England Patriots hosted quarterback prospect Will Levis for a Top 30 visit on Wednesday, per NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport.
Yesterday was the final day teams were allowed to welcome players for Top 30 visits.
Bill Belichick and the Pats currently hold the No. 14 overall pick in this year’s draft and are doing their due diligence to “prepare for any scenario” in this month’s draft.

Levis, a top-tier QB out of Kentucky, is widely considered among the top quarterback options in this year’s draft class, joining Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson. Some mock drafts have him going as early as No. 4 to the Indianapolis Colts, while others have him sliding further back in the order.
The Patriots are still operating with Mac Jones — the No. 15 overall pick in the 2021 draft — as their starting quarterback. The team also has 2022 pick Bailey Zappe and veteran Trace McSorely on their QB depth chart heading into the 2023 season.
