Wide receiver Nick Toon from the University of Wisconsin has the NFL in his genes. His father, Al Toon, played for the New York Jets from 1985 to 1992. In his eight years with the Jets, Toon compiled 517 receptions for 6,605 yards, 31 touchdowns and three Pro-Bowl selections.
Nick admits that having his father who’s also a Wisconsin grad is a tremendous luxury to have.
