Wisconsin has produced some strong football players through the years, and two former Badgers are off to especially strong starts in the NFL this season.
The two players off to hot starts are Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt. According to Pro Football Focus, the former Badgers are among the top three highest-graded players to start the NFL season. The only player to receive a higher grade entering Week 4 is Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.
Highest-graded players in the NFL:
1. Aaron Rodgers – 95.6
2. T.J. Watt – 93.8
3. Russell Wilson – 93.6 pic.twitter.com/svz6nbFEQL— PFF (@PFF) October 4, 2020
Watt has been a menace for Pittsburgh, accumulating 10 QB hits, 3.5 sacks, an interception, and five tackles for loss. Meanwhile, Wilson has been masterful offensively, completing 76.7% of his passes for 925 yards with 14 touchdowns and just one interception. Both the Steelers and Seahawks are off to a 3-0 start.
Those are definitely the kind of numbers you want to see from former Badgers at the next level!
