7. Wisconsin Badgers

Three Players: Travis Frederick (C), Joe Thomas (T), J.J. Watt (DE)

If you were to guess that the Wisconsin Badgers would be on this list, in what way would you predict them to be represented? By multiple players on the offensive line, of course.

The Badgers, in typical Badger fashion, managed to be represented in this year’s Pro Bowl with some rough riders and tough guys in the trenches. They have two offensive linemen and a defensive end up there. But even more impressive is the status of these players.

Travis Frederick may have been the best center in the NFL this year, and J.J. Watt was an MVP candidate at defensive end this past year. Sure, lack of diversity with three linemen may keep Wisconsin from being much higher on this list.

But see if anybody in Badger Land cares. This is the type of football these guys are proud of, which is just knocking out the guy in front of them.

And it shows in this game.
