With Wisconsin talent spread around the NFL landscape entering the 2021 season, former Badger teammates will be facing off nearly every week.
One of the first primetime preseason battles between former Badgers happened on Saturday when Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks hosted Melvin Gordon and the Denver Broncos.
Denver got the best of Seattle 30-3 in a game where neither Badger played, but the two did meet up before and after the game. 2011 saw the two NFL players as Wisconsin teammates when Wilson and Gordon led the Badgers to a Rose Bowl appearance.
Here is a look at the two reconnecting this weekend:
Once a Badger, Always a Badger 👐
It’s not just a saying … It’s a family!
