Kentucky's Will Levis and Tennessee's Hendon Hooker are two quarterbacks who are tantalizing prospects for teams on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
“Not shocked — surprised,” said ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr., who had projected Levis as a top-four pick."Once it got into that no-man's land because there was nobody needing a quarterback mid-round, I thought maybe somebody would jump back in. Maybe the Rams would.
