Wisconsin continues to send banner amounts of talent to the NFL. Last year it ws 12 players picked and/or signed as undrafted free agents out of college. That was the most the Badgers had produced in one season in their history. It was also the most out of any college in the country last year (I’m smelling a great trivia question to pull on all those Meechigan & O$U fans). All of that was correct until this season as 13 former Badgers were picked (6) or signed as undrafted free agents (7 UFA’s). Here is the list of players and where they are heading:
Kevin Zeitler, G, – Cincinnati Bengals, 1st round, 27th overall
Peter Konz, C/G – Atlanta Falcons, 2nd round, 55th overall
Russell Wilson, QB – Seattle Seahawks, 3rd round, 75th overall
Nick Toon, WR – New Orleans Saints, 4th round, 122nd overall
Bradie Ewing, FB – Atlanta Falcons, 5th round, 157th overall
Brad Nortman, P – Carolina Panthers, 6th round, 207th overall
Aaron Henry, S – Oakland Raiders, UFA
Jake Byrne, TE – New Orleans Saints, UFA
Patrick Butrym, DT – San Francisco 49ers, UFA
Louis Nzegwu, DE – Atlanta Falcons, UFA
Antonio Fenelus, CB – Indianapolis Colts, UFA
Josh Oglesby, T – Washington Redskins, UFA *if he passes his physical
Kyle Wojta, LS – Chicago Bears, UFA
Good luck to all the former Badgers and… ON WISCONSIN!
