The National Football League’s 2021-2022 campaign is a few games in and it has us thinking about Badgers in the league.
Seventeen franchises have former Wisconsin Badgers on their active rosters, totaling 24 players. Through the beginning of the season, many of these players have made a noticeable difference for their teams and have represented the University of Wisconsin very well.
Starting off with Super Bowl XLVIII champion and the lone quarterback of the group, Russell Wilson — who played for UW in 2011 — has been off to a hot start with the Seattle Seahawks.
In Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts, Wilson went 18-23 for 254 yards and four touchdowns in a 28-16 win.
