Wisconsin doesnt have anything special when it comes to graduating players to the NFL. I was actually thinking about this in class today. Compare them to Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida State, Florida, Michigan State, Syracuse, Penn State, Tennessee, USC, and Miami and there's nothing to write home about. You give guys like Chambers, Vincent, Evans, and Dayne, but what about guys like Jamar Fletcher and Mike Echols. Both were standout college players and now Fletcher isnt even starting in football's worst secondary and Echols is just fighting to stay off the practice squad. And don't even mention Dayne. That guy has been a huge disapointment. Lets break down Wisconsin's NFL players that are considered regulars:
Michael Bennett
Wendell Bryant
Chris Chambers
Lee Evans (being generous)
Al Johnson
John Hall
Casey Rabach
Mark Tauscher
Troy Vincent
Thats 9 players. Of those 9, only Vincent could be considered a star, and it could easily be argued that he is not at that level anymore. Lets compare Wisconsin to Syracuse, a school you would think it would be superior to:
Will Allen
Gary Anderson
Keith Bulluck
Donovin Darius
Dwight Freeney
Marvin Harrison
Kevin Johnson
Tebucky Jones
Rob Konrad
Olindo Mare
Donovan McNabb
That's 11 players. Freeney, Harrison, and McNabb are stars. Now lets look at a power like Miami:
Michael Barrow
Phil Buchanon
Najeh Davenport
Ken Dorsey
Jeff Feagles
Bubba Franks
Joaquin Gonzalez
Edgerrin James
Andre Johnson
Kenard Lang
Ray Lewis
Earl Little
Jerome McDougle
Willis McGahee
Bryant McKinnie
Dan Morgan
Santana Moss
Clinton Portis
Ed Reed
Warren Sapp
Jeremy Shockey
Duane Starks
Sean Taylor
Vinny Testaverde
Jon Vilma
Reggie Wayne
Nate Webster
Kellen Winslow
Thats 28 players, including stars like Edgerrin James, Ray Lewis, Clinton Portis, Ed Reed, Warren Sapp, and Jeremy Shockey. So while Wisconsin has done nicely, lets not get all excited about this Madison pipeline to the pros, because in reality, it doesnt exist.

Im a Wisconsin fball fan too, and yeah they are stacked. AD is finally back, and will set the table for the rest of them. Stanley is back in his limited role where he succeeds and the frosh can learn from the Pro.
