In this story:


Jack Nelson and Hunter Wohler were the only two Wisconsin Badgers taken in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The rest will have to continue their football careers as undrafted free agents, either signing with teams or accepting rookie minicamp invites to show what they can do.

It was one of the least successful Wisconsin draft classes in years, but some of their undrafted prospects have the potential to climb their way up an NFL depth chart.

A few Badgers signed with teams quickly after the draft.

CB RJ Delancy III, New York Giants

OL Joe Huber, Minnesota Vikings

WR Bryson Green, Arizona Cardinals

LB Jaheim Thomas, Carolina Panthers (rookie minicamp invite)

LB John Pius, Cleveland Browns (rookie minicamp invite)

The rest will have to wait longer for their next opportunity to continue their professional football careers, but they're definitely on NFL teams' radars after playing football at Wisconsin.
