Wisconsin Badgers: Zero Drafted, Eleven Undrafted

0:00On April 26, for the first time since 1978, the Wisconsin Badgers had zero players picked in the NFL draft. Even after a four and eight season, they had guys with real potential. But over three days and 257 picks, all 32 teams. Past on every Badger. Instead, 11 former Badgers landed undrafted free agent deals right away. That includes Titan Lance Mason with the Seahawks, why receiver Vinny Anthony to the Falcons, an edge rusher Mason Riger joining the dolphins. Plus eight more spreading out to teams like the Colts, Giants, and Rams. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this drought, especially since the Badgers had drafted at least two players every year since 2008. The last time they had just won was back in 2007, when Joe Thomas went third overall to the Browns and became a Hall of Famer. This puts Wisconsin in rare company, among powerful programs, alongside schools like West Virginia, North Carolina, and UCLA that also got shut out.

1:01This year. Last season, they still had a couple late round picks like Jack Nelson and Hunter Woller, even some transfers who got called. Undrafted pass have worked before, so these 11 could still ball out and make noise and camp. Keep an eye on how fickles crew rebuilds from here.
