Notes:
Last name is pronounced "Kahnz" --- Was a three-year starter for the Badgers after redshirting in 2008 --- Named 1st Team All-Big Ten in 2011 --- Could project to either center or guard at the next level --- A three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection --- Outstanding pedigree and is the next in a long line of blue-collar offensive lineman produced by the Wisconsin program --- Grades out just a notch below guys like Nick Mangold, Alex Mack, Maurkice Pouncey and Mike Pouncey but is clearly the top pivot in this class --- Profiles as a starter at the next level and should play in the league a long time, assuming he can stay healthy.
