Yesterday ProFootballFocus released their “PFF50: The NFL’s 50 best players entering the 2020 season” and included four former Badgers on the list: quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive end J.J. Watt, offensive tackle Ryan Ramczyk and outside linebacker T.J. Watt.

They were listed as follows: Wilson at No. 7, J.J. Watt at No. 13, Ramczyk at No. 26 and T.J. Watt at No. 28.

Here is what they had to say about each of the players and why they made the top 50 rankings.

 

Russell Wilson

“Russell Wilson made it only to No. 33 in PFF’s All-Decade 101 list, but he has taken his game to another level over the past couple of seasons. In 2019, it was Wilson — not Lamar Jackson — who led all players in PFF WAR (wins above replacement) and had the second-best overall PFF grade. Over the past three years, Wilson has 27 more big-time throws (PFF’s highest-graded passes) than any other passer, while 12 quarterbacks have more turnover-worthy plays than him. Wilson is held back only by how little his own team puts the ball in his hands.
