The Indianapolis Colts conducted a private workout with Kentucky quarterback Will Levis on Thursday, sending a convoy of high-ranking executives and coaches to Lexington.
According to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the contingent included general manager Chris Ballard and head coach Shane Steichen, along with some other high-ranking names.
The Colts' private workout of Kentucky QB Will Levis took place this AM. Indy brought a convoy to Lexington for it—GM Chris Ballard, HC Shane Steichen, OC Jim Bob Cooter, QBs coach Cam Turner, ass't GM Ed Dodds and college director Matt Terpening were all there, per sources.

It’s likely that this is the same group, more or less, that has been traveling for other workouts. They did so with C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young on Monday and also put BYU’s Jaren Hall through a workout as well this week.
We should take everything we hear leading up to the draft with a grain of salt. This is the best time for the Colts to throw smokescreens. The interest in Levis is real, and he’s certainly in contention to be the Colts’ first-round pick in the draft.
But unless some news comes out that Levis moved the needle so much that he’s now the favorite, it’s best to simply take the news at face value until more information is eventually revealed.
Levis has plenty of attractive qualities that the Colts will like, including his work ethic and leadership. He has intriguing physical traits as well, and there’s certainly a chance he’s one of the final candidates to be the team’s selection on the final Thursday in April.
