There’s plenty of former Wisconsin football talent tearing it up at the next level these days, and according to a recent ESPN article, several former Badgers rank as the best draft moves their current NFL teams made in the past five years.
NFL stars on the list who came to the league through Madison include defensive end J.J. Watt, quarterback Russell Wilson, and center Travis Frederick, who have all cemented themselves among the best in the NFL at their respective positions.
If the list were extended further (a lot further), I’m sure we’d see Joe Thomas on this list for the Cleveland Browns, as well.
