ESPN - Wisconsin's rough ride through the Big Ten just got a little bumpier.
The school announced on Sunday that tight end Travis Beckum fractured his left tibula against Illinois on Saturday and will miss the rest of the season. He underwent successful surgery on Saturday night at University of Wisconsin Hospital.
Brief set of highlights (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeO0sgo33U), only ones available, but all from the same game it appears...
6'4'', 235lbs. 4.55 40. Great hands. Hard to take down. Who does that remind you of?

Projected to be a second rounder in the coming draft, just suffered a season ending injury and will likely fall a couple rounds. Which team has a history of drafting similar players?
The guy is probably too light to be an NFL tight end. But he'd certainly be a great target to have opposite Brandon Marshall.
I'd only grab him if he fell to the fourth, our defense needs too much help to draft offense any earlier. But if you COULD get him there, he'd have a year to learn the offense and put in some time. Then you slide Royal to the slot where he should be, give Stokely a part time role, and insert Beckum at the 2.
What do you think?
