3 Biggest draft busts in Wisconsin football history
With a lot of Wisconsin football greats, who are some of the busts in the NFL?
Wisconsin has had a lot of great players in the NFL, especially in the last 10 to 15 years. Russell Wilson won a Super Bowl in his first three seasons as a starter. J.J. Watt will go down as one of the best defensive players to play the game and his brother T.J. Watt is one of the most feared linebackers in the league. Jonathan Taylor, while he dealt with some injuries, is one of the most prolific running backs in the league.
Not all those players mentioned above either were taken in the first round. Wilson was selected in the third round and Taylor was taken in the second.
So everyone always remembers the greats in college who went on to be greats in the NFL, but what about the others? What about the ones that were destined for greatness after college that just came up short? Well, we love to call those players busts. Whether they just didn't play well, or injuries plagued them, or something off the field affected their career, these players just did not do well at the next level.
So here are my three biggest busts that came out of Wisconsin football.
