Wisconsin Football: The Most Important Combine Events for Each Player

For the four Wisconsin Football players that have been invited to the NFL Combine, performing well in these specific areas will help boost their draft status.

It’s officially Draft Season in professional football, and it’ll start in earnest with the NFL Combine in just over a week. Prospects, coaches, front office staff, and reporters galore will congregate in Indianapolis starting Sunday, February 23 and test, interview, and research prospects throughout the following week. For the next generation of NFL hopefuls, this is the start of the most important spring of their careers, and could either make or cost them millions of dollars.

For the Wisconsin Football Program, the NFL Combine is an opportunity for four players to take the field and the weight room to show their skills in front of the entire league before the Draft in April. Jonathan Taylor, Zack Baun, Tyler Biadasz, and Quintez Cephus will all have the chance to show up, show out, and lead the newest contingent of Badger stars into the NFL in 2020.

But it won’t be easy. There are questions to be asked of each of the four guys, and the work they put in on and off the field could either make or break their futures. Whether it’s a medical question or a three cone drill, the end of February in Indianapolis will be the first step for these former Badgers All-Conference and All-American players to make their dreams a reality. We’ll take a look at the most important drills and moments for each of the four players, starting with a potential first round pick.
