Wisconsin Badgers on SI List of Top 400 NFL Players

Sports Illustrated recently released its list of the Top 400 NFL Players and several Wisconsin Badgers were included

Wisconsin Badgers were named to Sport Illustrated’s list of the Top 400 NFL Players.  We’ll look at where the Wisconsin Badger players were ranked and editorialize on the accuracy.  This is not a fantasy football list so it’s not just a statistical exercise.

It should not be surprising to you that JJ Watt was the highest rated Wisconsin Badger in the NFL.  The Houston Texans defensive terror is 2nd overall on the entire list behind Tom Brady.

Scroll this post to see where Wisconsin Badgers were included and see if you agree with Sports Illustrated placement of former Wisconsin Badgers.  We’ll organize this by position groups to make it a little easier to digest and contextualize.  Wisconsin badgers are not represented in every position group.
