With NFL training camp now here, Badger stars are gearing up for another season while rookies are looking to find their way onto final rosters.
A number of Wisconsin Badgers were at top of the league last season, as Jonathan Taylor was arguably the NFL’s best running back and T.J. Watt took home NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2021.
Overall, there are 37 former Badgers currently on NFL rosters with a number of those players now in new locations.
Here is a look at every Wisconsin Badger currently on an NFL training camp roster, including the rookie class of 2022:
