Wisconsin standout defensive lineman invited to an NFL rookie minicamp

Wisconsin football defensive lineman Elijah Hills received an invite to the San Francisco 49ers' rookie minicamp on Monday.

Hills is one of three Badger products to earn a minicamp invite, along with Jaheim Thomas and edge rusher John Pius. That trio follows a large group of former Badgers either selected during the 2025 NFL draft or signed as undrafted free agents. Most notably, left tackle Jack Nelson and safety Hunter Wohler were each selected during the draft's final round. Ignoring former transfers, those two were the program's only draft picks of the cycle.
