Inside linebacker Ryan Connelly became the second Wisconsin Badgers standout to be selected in the 2019 NFL Draft last weekend, going to the New York Giants in the fifth round with the 143rd overall pick.
Now, the former walk-on turned significant contributor to the UW defense the past three seasons will work and train to make the active roster of one of the NFL’s oldest and most famous franchises.
Based on the Giants’ tweet below from Thursday, it appears Connelly will wear No. 57 for now.
