NFL draft 2016: Wisconsin LB Joe Schobert scouting report

"Joe The Show" will likely be the first Badger selected in the 2016 NFL draft.

Joe Schobert is looking to be one of three former Badger walk-ons to make the NFL this season, along with quarterback Joel Stave and wide receiver Alex Erickson. Schobert, who finished tied for fourth in the Big Ten in sacks in 2015 with 9.5, really burst onto the scene this past season after a solid 2014 campaign. Consequently, he earned All-American honors for his efforts in 2015.

In Dave Aranda's 3-4 attacking scheme, Schobert played the field outside linebacker position, aside from his pass rushing responsibilities, and was asked to drop into coverage and play man coverage.
