There was much rejoicing within the state of Wisconsin when the Green Bay Packers selected outside linebacker Vince Biegel in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
Biegel, a captain and the heartbeat of a Wisconsin Badgers team that went 11-3 last season, is a homegrown son of the state. He grew up in central Wisconsin, son of a former BYU linebacker and grandson of a hall-of-fame high school football coach. He stayed in-state to play for the Badgers and he made a significant impact from 2013-16 in a class that’s the winningest in school history.
