Wisconsin has been one of the Big Ten?s bellwether programs of late, winning three Big Ten titles since 2010 and going to a bowl each season since 2002. And that success has translated into one of the most prolific draft resumes among all Big Ten schools over the last 10 years.

In that time, the program has also lived up to its billing as an ?offensive line? factory, producing 10 selections.

Wisconsin will add to its NFL draft resume in 2016, as offensive lineman Tyler Marz, quarterback Joel Stave and linebacker Joe Schobert should hear their names called.

Also, here are a few more recent NFL Draft stories.
