Badgers in the NFL draft: Toon to wear dad’s No. 88 for Saints

Wide receiver Nick Toon eschewed the No. 87 his father wore at the University of Wisconsin, except for a touching tribute to his dad during his final home game against Penn State last season. Nick wanted to establish his own identity with the Badgers and he did that, catching 171 passes for 2,447 yards in his career. But after getting drafted in the fourth round by the New Orleans Saints on Saturday, Nick Toon has decided to wear his father?s number to start his NFL career.
