Konz throws weight at Wisconsin workout

After missing the Wisconsin pro day, Badgers center Peter Konz finally worked out at the university in front of scouts from 11 teams and coaches from the Cincinnati Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens. All Konz did was weigh in at 313 pounds and then did 23 bench presses. He’s very athletic, but had a broken ankle and missed the final three games of the regular season. However, he returned to play a bowl game and will probably go in the 25-35 area. Two other prospects G Kevin Zeitler and OL Josh Oglesby showed up as well but both only weighed in at 315 and 336, respectively.

Badgers’ Maragos works way into draft consideration

DB Chris Maragos (5-foot-10 1/2, 200 pounds) performed so well that he may just find himself getting drafted in the late rounds come April.
