I run a growing podcast based in Wisconsin as well, and we actually got a chance to interview him a few weeks back. Would love for you guys to check it out and give any feedback:

Former Badgers & Current Saints Wide Receiver Nick Toon! | Kielbasa Kings’ Sports Extravaganza

Take care, and we up here in Wisconsin definitely give the Saints and WHO DAT NATION much respect, both in fan base and as a team!

Hey man, welcome to the board! My wife is from Evansville, WI (right outside of Madison) so I'm plenty familiar with the Badgers as we watch every game we can. I remember we were over the moon when the Saints drafted Nick Toon! We compared him to Marques Colston when we watched him at Wisconsin and adding him to our team made us jump for joy!

Great to hear! Yeah, I live in Madison, and my wife & I actually lived in Middleton, Nick's hometown, for a couple years.

I instantly thought once he was drafted by the Saints how much of a weapon he'd be for Drew Brees & Co.

Should be another good draft class for the Badgers - not as good as the past couple years, IMO, but I think they'll be surprising people.

By the way, if anyone has Twitter - feel free to follow me @KKSE_Kuba, or the official podcast Twitter feed, @KielbasaKingsWI. Hopin' we can get Nick back on in a few months after the Draft and between OTAs and Training Camp.

After watching all those Badgers games, if the Saints had stuck with the 4-3 defense I would've been cool with drafting Mike Taylor or Chris Borland in the later rounds... But that won't happen now. I'm still all for drafting Ricky Wagner as our new left tackle if he's available when we pick in the 3rd round.
