A look back at the best design moment in the history of Wisconsin Badgers

The NFL design begins tonight, and several Dadgers hope that their names will be called this weekend. Hunter Wohler, Jack Nelson and Joe Huber are said to be the three draft selected in this year, and during the design in their home state, the best design in Wisconsin Badgers’ story from the 2007 draft is.

It is a well -known story among Badger fans. In the design that the best college players wanted to visit personally, the top offensive -Line was missing. Instead, Joe Thomas decided to fish the day with his father and get the call from the boat. He was selected by the Cleveland Browns third in total and began his career as Hall of Fame directly on the banks of Lake Michigan.

“Many non-Brown and non-Badger fans will say to me: ‘You are the guy who fishes on draft day’,” said Thomas, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal.

“So many people follow that it is a special story for me because it reminds me of my father, we fishing ourselves together and have these father-son moments. Maybe it was in a deer blind or a baseball game, but there is a connection.”

Thomas is the second highest badger that has ever been selected in the design, and the youngest Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction. Despite all of this, his decision to stay out of the spotlight almost kept him in it, because many fans out there still remembers as “the guy who fishes on the draft day”.

The design is a dream for players who dream of an NFL career. For Thomas it was just the beginning, and a moment when he wanted to spend with the family, he did something he loved. As Wohler, Nelson and Huber get their own calls this weekend, a new group of stories, each have the potential, begins to be as unforgettable as Thomas’ fishing.
