12 for Tuesday: Brandon Williams

After making an immediate impact with the Badgers in 2002 — being named a second-team freshman All-American — Brandon Williams became one of the leading receivers in the Big Ten as a senior, surpassing 1,000 yards receiving and returning two punts for touchdowns. Drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 2006, he also played for the Steelers and Rams before returning to Madison. Since then he’s become a financial guru and sports commentator, and host of the popular Gridiron GQ podcast.
