Biadasz not taking part in on-field workouts at combine

February 26, 2020 By Bill Scott

Tyler Biadasz

Former Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz won’t be working out at the NFL Scouting Combine this week.

Biadasz revealed Wednesday that he had arthroscopic surgery on the AC joint in his right shoulder after the Badgers season concluded.

Biadasz decided to forego his redshirt senior season in Madison after winning the Rimington Trophy as college football’s top center.  Biadasz said he didn’t want anything lingering on to OTA’s or rookie camp, so he got the procedure taken care of.

Biadasz never played guard in Madison, but he said he had practice reps at the position and feels if an NFL team wanted to move him over from center, he could handle the move.

Biadasz to return to Badgers

January 4, 2019 By Bill Scott

 

Tyler Biadasz

Wisconsin Badger center Tyler Biadasz was considering turning pro and had put his name into the ring for evaluation.  UW announced this week that Biadasz would not be turning pro and would return to Madison for the 2019 season.

Teammate David Edwards announced that he would forgo his final season to enter the 2019 NFL Draft but the consensus first team all-Big Ten pick went the other way.  When asked after the Pinstripe Bowl if Biadasz thought he was ready for the NFL, he said yes.  But now it looks like an extra year of seasoning is the choice.

Biadasz’s return gives the Badgers four linemen back that started games in 2018.  That group includes Cole Van Lanen, Jon Dietzen and Logan Bruss.

Wisconsin losing an offensive lineman to the Draft

January 2, 2019 By Bill Scott

David Edwards

The Wisconsin Badgers is already losing seniors Michael Deiter and Beau Benzschawel to the 2019 NFL Draft.  Now junior tackle David Edwards announced this week that he will put his name into the upcoming draft.

Edwards recently tweeted, “After careful consideration, I’ve decided to forgo my final year of eligibility and declare for the NFL Draft.  I’ve had the chance of a lifetime to call myself a Badger and it’s hard to leave behind something that means so much to me, but it’s always been my dream to play pro football.  I couldn’t be more excited to pursue the opportunity.”

Edwards missed the last three games of the season, including the Pinstripe Bowl, with a shoulder injury.  As a sophomore, Edwards earned All-America honors from multiple outlets and was a consensus second-team All-Big Ten selection.  He checked out his potential draft status and received a second round grade before returning for his junior season in Madison.

Redshirt freshman Logan Bruss took over at right tackle when Edwards was out and will start spring ball as the No. 1 right tackle.

The Badgers could also lose a fourth starter soon.  Center Tyler Biadasz is going through the process of making a decision to return or not.  ESPN Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr., had him rated as the number-4 center prospect among eligible players.  After last week’s Pinstripe Bowl, Biadasz said he’s ready for the NFL.  He’ll have until Jan. 14 to make a decision.
