Wisconsin's Joel Stave seeks help from Packers' Scott Tolzien as NFL Combine "Thrower"

With the former Badger tabbed to be a thrower for receiving drills, he sought out help from a predecessor who has spent his last few years in Green Bay.

Joel Stave has taken a long, winding road to the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine. The Wisconsin Badgers quarterback started as a walk-on in Madison, took over the starting job as a redshirt freshman, lost it as a Junior, and finally earned it back again later that year. All told, Stave became the winningest quarterback in Badgers history, but he leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered not as much for his successes as his perceived limitations.
