Wisconsin Badgers senior wide receiver Nick Toon played his last game in the Rose Bowl and will head into the 2012 NFL draft. Toon will be heading into a draft that is deep at the wide receiver position, according to most draft experts, so he's going to have to show something to separate himself from the log jam at the position. Toon is a bigger wide receiver at about 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds and has flashed play making ability at times, but has been rather inconsistent in his career with the Badgers.

Here is what SB Nation’s Mocking The Draft has to say about Nick Toon:

Badgers wide receiver Nick Toon projects as a good No. 2 in the NFL. He has size and good leaping ability to make tough grabs. He’s not dynamic enough, however, to be a first-round player.
