He looked phenomenal in his first start and I was really high on him during the draft. Seemed to have all the tools, but for some reason, he was just annihilated by the media, mostly for stupid stuff like mayonnaise or something. There seemed to be an almost vicious hatred for the guy largely on Twitter. Can someone explain? I swear on draft night, they cut to his face every time somebody was picked over him, like they just wanted to humiliate him.

GMs were saying the interview process played a big part of the decision on why he fell. However, Young got shit on for his size and CJ was called unintelligent. So you can’t really say Levis’ treatment was unfair. You can find bad reports on every draft pick because that’s how teams get players to drop to them.
