Wisconsin Badgers: NFL Draft Sleepers

0:00On April 15th, Wisconsin Badgers are looking at slim pickings for the 2026 NFL Draft and Pittsburgh. Expect, just one, maybe two, to get selected. The rest figured to chase undrafted free agent deals, but Madison's got legit talent that could stick on rosters. Edge rusher Mason Riger stands out, with his block shedding moves. He led the team with 45 pressures last fall, disrupting plays even without top sack numbers. His feel for the backfield screams third down minutes. White receiver Vinny Anthony packs long speed from his track days. He stretches defenses deep and creates separation over the top. That 95-yard kickoff touchdown against Alabama, pure game breaker proof. Safety Austin Brown boasts an elite athletic profile at 6'1-215 pounds. Clocked a 4.4740 yard dash, 43-inch vertical, and 20 bench reps at pro-day. Even lagged in college, but those tools might earn a mini-camp invite.

1:00Decal crowd is blazed a 4.3640 at pro-day, bringing blur speed after big plays in Hawaii. Cornered nice year for Corian, mirrors that physical edge at 6'1, jamming receivers with his length and press coverage. These badgers could surprise as overlooked gems, turning heads this off season.
