Wisconsin ILB Chris Orr’s Older Brother Stays Retired

Zachary Orr is the older brother of Wisconsin ILB Chris Orr. Chris Orr tore his ACL on the first play from scrimmage in Wisconsin’s season opening win over LSU.

Zach played through a shoulder injury during the 2017 NFL seasons. Yet, he recorded 132 total tackles, good for 9th in the NFL. His 97 total tackles was the 6th best mark in the NFL. As a result, Zach Orr earned 2nd Team All-Pro honors in January.

Zach Orr was due a payday. Instead, he received crushing medical news. Apparently his C-1 vertebrae was not fully formed.
