The Badgers have plenty of other players on their roster that will be draft hopefuls following the 2020 season.

Eric Burrell

Burrell is returning after his first year as a starter with the Badgers. He had a successful season in coverage in 2019 but wasn’t as effective against the run. He’ll be pushed by Colin Wilder, Scott Nelson, and Reggie Pearson in 2020, but should keep his job because of his coverage skills. He’ll be a depth player in the NFL who should be drafted in 2021 after another successful season.

Kendric Pryor

Pryor is a quicker than fast receiver who won’t blow up the combine and doesn’t have the traits of a No. 1 NFL receiver. He has reliable hands and is dangerous after the catch but hasn’t been very productive yet. Pryor is looking at a much bigger role in 2020, but he has a lot of work to do before he’s taken seriously as an NFL prospect.

Garrett Groshek

Groshek is a versatile running back, who has room to pack on more weight. He could find his way onto an NFL roster as an H-back/running back hybrid.

Logan Bruss

Bruss is a big-bodied offensive line prospect with experience and versatility. While he’s just a redshirt-Junior, he may declare for the draft after a successful 2020 season.

Jack Coan

Coan looks like a possible day three selection right now. If he expands on his 2019 production, he’s guaranteed to be drafted in 2021, but the Packers won’t select a quarterback next year.

Jack Sanborn

If you’ve kept up with my draft profiles over the past few weeks, you know I’m high on Jack Sanborn. He’s had solid production and looks like an NFL linebacker, but with his younger brother now joining the Badgers he’ll likely use all of his eligibility and stick around through the 2021 season.

Cole Van Lanen

Van Lanen is a former Green Bay talent from my alma mater, Bay Port High School. He’s a tackle prospect that NFL teams had their eye on following the 2018 season, but he took a step back in 2019 with a few shaky performances. He’ll look to get back on track during his redshirt-senior season and position himself among the top tier of tackles in the 2021 Draft class.

Jake Ferguson

Ferguson has been productive since his redshirt freshman season. He has two years of eligibility left but looks like a solid NFL tight end. He’ll likely declare for the draft following another successful campaign. The Green Bay Packers may draft another tight end in next year’s draft, but Ferguson looks like an early pick. He may off the board before the Packers are willing to select a tight end.

Next. Potential 2021 Cap Casualties. dark

These players are not likely to be drafted by the Green Bay Packers. However, Isaiahh Loudermilk, Danny Davis, and Caesar Williams could all work their way onto the Packers radar with solid performances during the 2020 season. If the Packers do land a former Badger, I hope they get a Mark Tauscher caliber player out of it.
