The mysterious Reddit account that fueled drama about Will Levis potentially going No. 1 in the NFL Draft has been deleted.
CBS4Indy.com reported that the account disappeared at some point Thursday night.
Levis, of course, became arguably the biggest story of the NFL Draft’s first night. Viewed by many as a top-five pick, or at least a top-1o selection, Levis did not get drafted in the first round. ESPN’s broadcast kept cutting to Levis as the round wore on and he went undrafted.
It became an uncomfortable spectacle for viewers, and it was obviously tough for Levis. He will not return for the draft’s second night.
Making the event even more surreal is the fact that Levis’ draft stock had soared in the past couple of days after a cryptic post by a Reddit user titled SaleAgreeable2834. That account posted a message this week that, “Well ladies and gentleman [sic], [Levis is] telling friends and family Carolina will in fact take him on Thursday. You’re welcome.”
That tweet actually altered the betting markets on Levis’ draft stock, improving his odds of going No. 1, and certainly in the top five.
Yet the Carolina Panthers picked Bryce Young No. 1, and the Houston Texans chose C.J. Stroud at No. 2. Florida’s Anthony Richardson went fourth overall to the Indianapolis Colts. That was it for quarterbacks in the first round.
Thursday night, SaleAgreeable2834 deleted their Reddit account.
Twitter users savaged the mysterious SaleAgreeable2834 Reddit user.
