In his lone season with the Wisconsin Badgers football program, starting quarterback Tanner Mordecai didn’t light up the scoreboards and improve his NFL Draft stock as he intended. Still, Mordecai proved to be the leader this team needed during the transition to head coach Luke Fickell.
“He’s undoubtedly one of the best leaders I’ve been around,” Fickell said.
Unlike Braelon Allen, Tanor Bortolini, and Maema Njongmeta, the sixth-year senior did not receive an invite to the NFL Combine. However, Mordecai took advantage of his chance to impress scouts at the Badgers’ annual pro day, held at the McClain Center.
