PrintThis is the fourth in a week-long series of posts sponsored by EA Sports NCAA Football 2011.
I feel like I once again have to preface this post by reminding readers that I was not a Badger fan before 2004. That means you find Ron Dayne on this list (although I do remember watching him during his senior year and rooting for Wisconsin in the 2000 Rose Bowl because he was so impressive).
So here they are, my three favorite Badgers of all-time since 2004:
- Erasmus James (DE, 2001-04) - If the 2004 group is my favorite team, then Erasmus James has to be one of my favorite players. He was so dominant that season and was still an All-American despite getting injured on a dirty block against Purdue.
- Jim Leonhard (DB, 2000-04) - The ultimate underdog, if you didn't like "JL" then you don't like football. A walk-on turned starter turned team-captain, it's a shame he didn't get a scholarship until his senior year despite being a three-time First Team All-Big selection. He left UW with 21 career interceptions which is tied with Jamar Fletcher for the school record.
Who are your favorite Badgers of all-time?

Ron Great Dayne (my dad went to law school at UW so I was a fan back in the day), Jimmy Leonard, and Brooks Bollinger
Gotta love Brooks! That was one gritty SOB!
I couldn't have picked a better top three
But after that I gotta go with Owen Daniels and Matt Bernstein
Ugh OD.
I should have him on this list. That TE screen on 3rd and long was the best run play I’ve ever seen the Badgers run.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
The Hebrew Hammer!!
Matt Bernstein, Mike Samuals, Jimmy Leonard, and of course Ron Dayne
