Monday afternoon, former Wisconsin wide receiver and return threat David Gilreath picked his top four plays in his time with the Badgers on Big Ten Network Wisconsin’s twitter account. Gilreath showed just how versatile he was in college by picking a rushing touchdown, a punt return for a touchdown, a receiving touchdown, and a kick return for a touchdown as his favorite plays.
After his successful career at Wisconsin, David Gilreath was a journeyman in the NFL playing for seven teams in his eight-year career as mostly a practice squad player. Despite his lack of success in the NFL, Gilreath has the record for most all-time kick return yards in the Big Ten and is the only Badger to score a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, a punt return touchdown, and a kick return touchdown.

It appears that Gilreath may have aimed to remind people of his record and versatility when picking his four top plays. It is really fun to be able to see how talented Wisconsin was in the early 2010s era and reminds me just how good the Badgers have consistently been.
