Wisconsin has had some great players come from universities around the state. Sure, they may not have much in the NFL, but some are still great players.
Justin James "J. J." Watt is an American football defensive end for the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Texans with the 11th pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and played college football at Wisconsin. ...read more. 4 time pro bowler, 4 time first team all-pro, 2017 Walter Payton Man of the Year, and 3 time defensive player of the year. No other words needed to say he’s the greatest football player to ever come from a Wisconsin school.
Happy retirement to a future hall of famer and one of the greatest O-Linemen in NFL history. Unfortunate that he never made the playoffs.
Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and formerly for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League. Who knew he could become a super bowl champ? To show how good he is, he accounted for 100% of Seattle’s points in 2017. That’s not an exaggeration. It shows just how good a quarterback he is.
Melvin Gordon III is an American football running back for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. Really good running back from UW. One of the best running backs in the NFL.
He set records in Super Bowl LI by scoring 20 points and scored the game winning touchdown. He truly is a great to come from Wisconsin.
Travis Frederick is a former American football center who played his entire career for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Part of one of the best offensive lines in the NFL today. Frederick is an anchor at center.
