Shownotes Transcript

Ranking the top 10 Wisconsin Badgers football wide receivers since 1991. We start with a couple New Jersey products from the Barry Alvarez era with Donald Hayes and Lee DeRasmus - both players with big play potential. We also discuss Alex Erickson and his underrated Badgers career and why Nick Toon lived up to his father's namesake.

In the next segment we get into Tony Simmons -- 'Touchdown Tony' -- and why he's maybe the most underrated big play WR in Badgers history. We also talk about the physical Quintez Cephus and the uber-productive Jarred Abbrederis. Both Abbrederis and Erickson are proud members of the all walk-on team as that pipeline has produced so much talent for the Badgers.

We round out the top-3 WRs on Locked On Badgers with Brandon Williams, Chris Chambers and Lee Evans. Williams was so consistent over a four-year career that his spot on the list is very deserved. Chris Chambers was an elite athlete and we discuss his ability to win down the field. There was never any argument for the number one spot as Lee Evans is the GOAT Wisconsin WR. We discuss his monstrous junior season and his 5 touchdown game against MSU.
