This list is comprised of 34 total Wisconsin football players. The list includes players who graduated from Wisconsin or spent their final collegiate season with the Badgers. If you included players who spent time with the Badgers before transferring to another school, you could also add quarterback Graham Mertz (Houston Texans) and wide receiver Chimere Dike (Tennessee Titans).
Most of the players on the list are established players who will have a roster spot come Week 1. But there are a few players who will definitely be fighting for a roster spot.
