WATCH: Jack Sanborn makes a terrific play in East-West Shrine Bowl

The Badger linebacker was making plays on Thursday

One of the first steps in the NFL draft process for former Wisconsin linebacker Jack Sanborn was the East-West Shrine Bowl on Thursday.

Sanborn participated in the nation’s longest running college football all-star game in a chance to impress numerous NFL scouts in the stands.

The Illinois native made a play we have seen numerous times throughout his Wisconsin career. On an obvious passing down, Sanborn stepped up to stop any hopes of a quarterback run as he punched the football out with his right hand.

Wisconsin football’s Twitter account showed love to No. 57 yesterday:

Sanborn’s journey continues all spring long as he prepares for the NFL draft. The 2022 draft begins on April 28.
