NFL action kicks off tonight with the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles facing off in primetime. With 24 former Badgers on active NFL rosters this year, there was bound to be some head-to-head battles between former teammates. Right off the bat, two of the best players who will be on the field Thursday night are former Wisconsin teammates who know each other well.
The Eagles' Zack Baun and the Cowboys' Jake Ferguson were former Badgers who spent every day of practice going up against one another. The duo overlapped for two seasons in Madison, and now face each other twice a year as division rivals.
