The NFL has seemingly always been littered with former Wisconsin fullbacks—Las Vegas’ Alec Ingold and Pittsburgh’s Derek Watt currently leading the way.
Well, there is now one fewer Wisconsin product at the position, as the Carolina Panthers released UDFA Mason Stokke earlier this morning.

Stokke showed out for Wisconsin last season, rushing for 45 yards on 19 carries, tallying 58 receiving yards on 8 receptions and finding the end zone four total times. All of that, also, while operating as a pivotal piece of the team’s run game both on the goal line and in other short-yardage situations.
The former Badger will now look for a new NFL home to play out his rookie season.
