Gia Duddy, the girlfriend of Will Levis, became a star since his draft day. Know the whole story behind it
Will Levis probably wishes he could forget the first night of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the excessive publicity did result in a favorable, if lucrative, outcome for one of his close friends.
The former Kentucky quarterback, who was chosen 33rd overall by the Titans in the second round of the April draft, discussed his infamous first-round slip on Barstool Sports’ “The Mid Show” podcast this week. He described how his girlfriend Gia Duddy’s online profile exploded, resulting in new partnerships.
Will Levis' draft night didn't exactly go as planned, but his GF's TikTok account sure benefited.

“The one positive thing that me and my family took away from draft night is just the attention on social media my sisters and girlfriend got, so that was good,” Levis said.
Levis’ response to the question about Duddy’s potential business opportunities was, “She just signed a Burger King deal.”
“It’s crazy, I was like, ‘You’re paying for lunch,’” he said.

Duddy, a recent Penn State graduate, has approximately 500,000 followers on TikTok, where she publishes a variety of videos on topics ranging from beauty to wellness.
Duddy and Levis have been dating for over two years, and Levis mentioned that Duddy will be moving to Nashville in September and starting nursing school soon.

“She’s going to do the whole influencer thing, slide by with that, and then get into nursing school and see where that goes,” Levis said. “Her followers doubled on draft night. And I was like, ‘I need a cut of this.’”
In May, Duddy went to Los Angeles with Levis as part of the NFLPA Rookie Premiere, a business and marketing event that gives partners the chance to interact with some of the league’s newest stars. Duddy has supported Levis throughout his time in the NFL so far.

Duddy caught a glimpse of Levis’ new appearance while they were on the West Coast with the Titans.
She exclaimed at the moment, “And just like that I have a new favorite number!” on Instagram.
Later this month, Levis reports to Titans training camp.
