Wisconsin Badgers on SI List of Top 400 NFL Players
Center
Travis Frederick, 18th Overall, 1st Center
Remember when the Dallas Cowboys were mocked for drafting Frederic in the 1st round of the 2013 NFL Draft? NFL Network and ESPN weren’t thrilled with the selection. You can read Bleacher Report’s assessment which covers some of the critiques. But the article also says “If Frederick has a tenured career as one of the top centers in the league, he’ll be worth the pick.” Well, good news for fans of “America’s Team,” Frederick is well on his way to that standard. He has started every game of his four-year NFL career and made three Pro Bowls as well as First Team All Pro honors in 2016. No question SI nailed this position group to have Frederick as the top overall center.
