  04/16/20 - OLB Chris OrrrSr/2020, Wisconsin

  Chris Orr has heard enough stories to understand things aren't always what they appear in NFL draft season. The former University of Wisconsin linebacker has had virtual interviews with dozens of pro teams in the past month, and they've all ended with positive feedback about Orr's chances in the league. But Orr - who's projected as a late-round pick in the NFL draft, which starts April 23 - knows the signs of a team truly interested. "It's kind of crazy. They never really give you a solid answer as in, 'We think we can get you this round,' but some people let you know, 'Man, you're one of our top guys, in that top percentile of the guys we're looking at,'" Orr said. "You can also tell by how often you're talking to them or how often they're talking to your agent, and just the flow of the conversation. Some people are showing you more stuff, some are showing you less."

That isn't always the case though, Orr says, as he's heard numerous tales of players being drafted by teams they'd barely heard from during the predraft process. Orr will have to wait to see if a team decides to pull the trigger and select him after a five-year stint at UW. He played in 50 career games despite a torn ACL ending his 2016 season after one snap, and developed into an All-Big Ten inside linebacker as a senior. Part of Orr's ascent last season was his role in the Badgers' pass rush. After posting 2½ sacks in his first four seasons on the roster, Orr tallied 11 1/2 in 2019, pairing with outside linebacker Zack Baun (12 1/2) to become the first UW teammates to record 10 or more sacks apiece in the same season since 1996. - Wisconsin State Journal
