It wasn't a great day for Alex Hornibrook during passing drills, but even when he's a little off it's still easy to see flashes of his true ability. He's still displaying a particular knack for the deep ball, and showed a good connection with his tight ends - particularly Troy Fumagalli and Zander Neuville on Tuesday - during both team drills and during red zone work. The tight end will always be a big part of Wisconsin's offense, but Hornibrook definitely feels comfortable trying to fit the ball in to tight windows when he's targeting them.
