What an all-Wisconsin NFL defensive starting lineup would look like

Yesterday I put together an all-Wisconsin Badger NFL offensive starting lineup, a unit headlined by Russell Wilson, Melvin Gordon…

Defensive tackle: Beau Allen

Beau Allen has had an impressive career in the NFL thus far after being selected in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

The Minnesota native played his first four years in Philadelphia where he was a part of their 2017 Super Bowl-winning team. He then signed with the Buccanneers before the 2018 season, started eight games for them in 2018 and recently signed with the New England Patriots where he projects to be a Day-1 starter on Bill Belichick‘s defensive line.

Though the numbers don’t pop off the board with Allen–117 total tackles, 2.5 sacks and 15 quarterback hits in six years–he has shown the ability to be a consistent performer at defensive tackle and represents a good fit alongside Watt and Baun up front.

Next are the team’s outside linebackers.
