Will Levis became the betting favorite to be selected second in Thursday’s NFL draft over the weekend and thanks to a Reddit rumor, his odds of going No. 1 to the Panthers drastically increased.
Reddit user SaleAgreeable2834 referenced Levis’s long odds to be the first pick and wrote, “Well ladies and gentleman [sic], he’s telling friends and family Carolina will in fact take him on Thursday. You’re welcome.” The Kentucky quarterback’s odds to go No. 1 to the Panthers shortened from +4000 to +600 Tuesday morning at SI Sportsbook.
But on Wednesday, he addressed the viral Reddit post and appeared to throw cold water on the rumor.
