Former Wisconsin Badger Hunter Wohler is looking to make a big jump into the NFL and one of his first steps is in the Reeses Senior Bowl. He was able to perform in such a way that many pundits and scouts started to take notice of his ability to be an NFL player. He, currently, is expected to be drafted around the fifth to the sixth round; many are wondering, with his showing at the Senior Bowl, if he should jump up even higher.

It seems as if NFL Scouts are noticing that his football IQ is an asset and something that can be utilized at the NFL level.
