MADISON – Welcome to the sixth round of the NFL Draft, unofficially presented by the University of Wisconsin.
After a quiet day first and second round on Saturday where no Badgers were selected for the first since 1996, All-American kicker Taylor Mehlhaff, defensive tackle Nick Hayden and wide receiver Paul Hubbard were all taken within mere minutes of each other Sunday afternoon in the sixth round of the annual NFL Draft in New York.
Mehlhaff was the No. 178th overall selection and the 12th pick in the sixth round by the New Orleans Saints, Hayden was selected shortly after Mehlhaff by the Carolina Panthers with the 181st pick overall and Hubbard was the 191st pick by the Cleveland Browns.
