For days, Toppers had been teasing a new “recruit” to their team, using the hashtag “#FRANCHISEPLAYER.”

Tuesday morning, ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell was one of the first to tweet about the sponsorship deal.

 Taylor declared for this year’s NFL draft after rushing for more than 6,000 yards in three seasons as a Badger, winning the Doak Walker Award as the best running back in college football the last two seasons.

Taylor also impressed at the NFL Combine earlier this year, running a 4.39 40-yard dash that was the fastest among all running backs in this year’s draft class. He could potentially be a first-round pick once the draft gets underway Thursday night.
