Mason Reiger: Badger's Edge Rusher Eyeing NFL Draft

On April 22nd, NFL drafts right around the corner, but Wisconsin Badgers fans might not hear

a ton of their guys called.

One name popping up is Edge R Usher, Mason Ryger, projected to go 159th overall in the

5th round.

Ryger's spin just one year with the Badgers, but smash career highs with 32 total tackles

and 5 sacks.

He ranks second on the team in sacks, trailing only senior linebacker Darryl Peterson, and

set 8th in both total and solo tackles with 18.

Solos.

Coming from Illinois, he wrapped up college ball with 81 tackles, 13 sacks, 4 past deflections,

and 4 forced fumbles.

The Carolina Panthers own, picks 158 and 159, and they've already got a stack defense

that could use Ryger's pass rush.

ESPN's mock has him a bit later at 165th, so Badger fans, eyes on Ryger, he could be

the one slipping through to the pros.
