Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson’s incredible time at the University of Wisconsin culminated in the 2021 Rose Bowl after he set the single-season record for passing efficiency. Playing baseball and football at NC State prior to his time with the Badgers, the quarterback also led Wisconsin to the 2011 Big Ten title.
Taken in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Wilson has yet to depart his original team, the Seahawks.
