Jared Abbrederis: Biletnikoff Award dark horse?

3

Week 2 (right?) of watch list season is here, and it brings us another Badgers inclusion. This here is the award for the nation's top wide receiver, and Abbrederis is a natural to make that watchlist. I saw some OSU bros talking on Twitter this morning about Abby's seemingly neverending career at Wisconsin, and kind of chuckled. Yes, he's killed OSU and very well could do it again this year. But on the other hand, hasn't he generally been under-utilized considering Wisconsin's lack of consistent passing options not named Russell Wilson? If (BIG IF) the Badgers can settle the McEvoy-Stave-Phillips battle with a concrete, productive solution, I'd push Abbrederis as a darkhorse candidate. Too ballsy? Perhaps, but I'd like to hear arguments to the contrary.
