Although they aren’t a powerhouse like Alabama or Ohio State, Wisconsin football has been very successful in getting players from their program drafted into the NFL. This year was no different.
No, they didn’t have any blue-chip players in this year’s draft that went in the first or second round. But that’s what you expect from your typical Wisconsin player. They are two and three-star prospects who come in and work hard for success. The Badgers have an excellent track record of developing walk-ons into potential NFL players.
This year, the Badgers had four former players selected in the draft and some who weren’t drafted signed undrafted deals with teams around the league.
