The NFL draft is quickly approaching, but Wisconsin Badgers fans shouldn't expect to hear too many of their players' names called.
NFL.com's Chad Reuter put together a full seven-round mock draft that sees EDGE Mason Reiger selected No. 159 overall in the fifth round.
Reiger may have only been at Wisconsin for one year, but he set a career high in total tackles (32) and tied his career high in sacks (5).
The Illinois native was second in sacks, only behind fellow senior linebacker Darryl Peterson.Reiger was also eighth on the team in both total tackles and solo tackles (18).
The Carolina Panthers hold both the No. 158 and No. 159 picks, but of all the teams to go to, the Panthers have quite a defense on their hands.
Reiger played four years of collegiate football as his career came to an end with 81 total tackles, 13 sacks, four pass deflections, and four forced fumbles.
It should be noted that among the few Badgers' names floating around, ESPN's Jordan Reid also has Reiger taken in the draft, though Reid has him going No. 165.
