NFL training camps are starting.

It’s that time of the year. Football is right around the corner.

For many players transitioning from college to the NFL, they typically have to move somewhere across the country. After all, there are only 32 NFL teams. There are of course many more different colleges that players play at.

On Friday, former Wisconsin Badgers DL Olive Sagapolu signed with the Green Bay Packers. Sagapolu is one of the few — being able to play at the next level very close to where he played collegiately.

After eight games played in 2018, Sagapolu was sidelined with an injury and went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft. He is now with the Packers and was an All-Big Ten pick in 2017.

Also, Sagapolu can do something that you can’t do.
