Allison Kuch ‘absolutely sick’ over Will Levis NFL Draft attacks

The Will Levis 2023 NFL Draft saga didn’t sit well with Allison Kuch.

The social media influencer, who is married to Raiders defensive end Isaac Rochell, discussed Levis falling out of the first round of this year’s draft in a TikTok video on Sunday.

Kuch took issue with those “attacking” the former Kentucky quarterback on social media after he slipped down the draft board, and said the comments made her “absolutely sick.”

The Titans selected Levis with the No. 33 pick on Friday after he slipped out of the first round.

“He ended up not getting drafted in the first round, but you guys, the comments have me absolutely sick,” Kuch said during a “get ready with me” video before the Stagecoach country music festival in California.

“The comments definitely showed me how little people understand the NFL. The moment of him going to the draft itself and not getting drafted, instead of people coming at it with sympathy and empathy, they end up attacking him.

“Do you know how stupid it sounds to get invited to the NFL Draft and say no because there might be a chance you might not get drafted in the first round? — That’s stupid.”

Rochell — a defensive end who played at Notre Dame — was selected in the seventh round (225th overall) by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017.

In the background, Rochell jokingly noted that he was not invited to the draft.

“Things like this happen way more often than one would think,” Kuch said.

“For example, my husband signed with the Cleveland Browns last year, we were excited, we made an announcement, he went to camp, and then he ended up getting cut.

“You’re trying to tell me we should not be excited that he signed with a team because there’s a chance he might not make the team?”

Rochell played with the Colts in 2021 and the Browns in 2022 — and signed with the Raiders in December after terminating his practice squad agreement with Cleveland.

“The situation is really unfortunate,” Kuch said.

“The person who wins out of this entire situation is Will Levis because he’s currently on the Titans and got drafted in the NFL, which is an incredible accomplishment no matter if it’s pick 32 or pick 33 — or I mean if it’s pick 225,” she said while Rochell appeared in the background.

“They all mean the same,” Rochell said, referring to draft picks.

Earlier in the video, Kuch complimented Levis’ family and his girlfriend, Gia Duddy, who were sitting with him in the green room at Kansas City’s iconic Union Station.

“Can we just take a moment for his entire group that was with him because they all looked incredible,” Kuch said.

Levis — who was a projected top-ten pick — became the subject of viral memes on social media as cameras honed in on his reactions throughout the night, showing the quarterback staring at his phone.

He also made headlines days before the draft when a Reddit rumor drastically increased his odds to go No. 1 at multiple sports books, causing a frenzy in the betting world.

Levis is reportedly dealing with a lingering left toe injury, which might’ve been a red flag for teams.

However, the 23-year-old quarterback has insisted he is healthy.
