NFL preseason shows Wisconsin fans what could've been an elite QB-WR duo in Madison

The NFL preseason provides some weird connections that you never thought possible as a college football fan. You often see college rivals playing alongside each other or two different eras of NCAA greats competing for the same spot. For Wisconsin fans, it was the alternate timeline of Graham Mertz throwing a touchdown to Quintez Cephus in a "what could have been" moment.

In a competition for a roster spot game, the two former Badgers connected to give the Houston Texans a 17-7 lead over the Detroit Lions.
