Multiple Former Wisconsin Badgers Quarterbacks Face NFL Roster Bubble in 2025 Preseason

As the 2025 NFL training camps progress, numerous players are fighting for roster spots across various teams. The Green Bay Packers are evaluating linebacker Michael Batton, an athletic but undersized player with a diverse college background, as well as wide receiver-turned-cornerback Bo Melton and wide receiver Malik Heath, both on the roster bubble. Meanwhile, the New England Patriots, under new head coach Mike Vrabel, are focusing on quarterback Drake Maye's development and the performance of bubble players like undrafted rookie quarterback Ben Wooldridge during the preseason. Former Wisconsin Badgers quarterbacks Graham Mertz of the Houston Texans and Tanner Mordecai of the San Francisco 49ers also face challenges securing roster spots, both contending for third-string quarterback roles. Additionally, Joe Tippmann and Hunter Wohler, former Badgers now in the NFL, are making notable impressions in their respective camps. These roster battles highlight the intense competition and uncertainty players face as teams finalize their lineups for the upcoming season.
