The Wisconsin Badgers will be well represented at the NFL’s All-Star game at the start of 2016, as four former Wisconsin football players will represent their NFL teams in the Pro Bowl.
Wisconsin’s four selections – Russell Wilson, J.J. Watt, Travis Frederick and Joe Thomas – leads the Big Ten conference in total selections, and trails only the Georgia Bulldogs and LSU Tigers (five selections) among all colleges in terms of number of alumni heading to the Pro Bowl.
For Joe Thomas, the Pro Bowl marks his ninth Pro Bowl in as many seasons as he continues to be the epitome of the perfect left tackle.
