Some Badgers will ultimately hear their name called during one of the seven rounds worth of draft selections, while others will sign on as preferred free agents. Others may begin their careers in the XFL or move on from their professional football dreams altogether.

With that in mind, we at All Badgers will profile some former Badgers who have a chance at being selected in the NFL Draft over the next two weeks. For each player, we will profile who they are, their statistics and athletic testing numbers, where they could be selected, and some of the teams that could make sense.

Today we focus on Wisconsin wide receiver Kendric Pryor.

Mock draft projections

Kendric Pryor is not expected to be drafted this weekend. The 5-foot-11 wide receiver will likely look to sign on with a team in free agency. 

Possible teams of interest

Teams that are looking for speed, and a player with an ability to be used as both a runner and receiving threat, could give Pryor a chance as an undrafted free agent. He could also be a candidate for the USFL or one of the other various professional leagues.  

All 32 NFL teams were in attendance for Wisconsin's Pro Day back on March 9.
