the chaos-creating inside linebacker who made Wisconsin’s 2019 defense pop
In the 2019 season, Chris Orr was a wrecking ball for Wisconsin, finishing with 78 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 11.5 sacks — elite production for an inside linebacker and a big reason the Badgers set a single-season school record with 51 sacks. He stood out for his blitz timing, downhill violence, and nose for big plays, plus the leadership touch of a team captain. If you want a linebacker who brings disruptive energy, edge, and playmaking swagger, Orr fits the bill — but his value was always about impact more than pure coverage polish.
