Heading into the 2016 NFL Draft, former Wisconsin football wide receiver Alex Erickson bolstered his chances at a draft selection with a strong pro day, but he didn’t hear his name called on draft day.
Shortly after the draft, Erickson was one of seven former Badgers to sign in undrafted free agency, joining up with the Cincinnati Bengals.
After nearly tying the Badgers single-season reception mark last season, Erickson has a new challenge on his hands: Making the Bengals roster.
As far as chances for undrafted free agents go, Erickson has a good shot in Cincinnati considering the current roster situation at wide receiver.
