The Matt Sinclair Redemption Tour continues. And that's a good thing.
The former Illini and NFL linebacker recently joined the football staff at North Central College in Naperville. He will work with linebackers and special teams.
"We're in a very good place right now," Sinclair said. "I think everything happens for a reason."
There was a time, not very long ago, when Sinclair wondered if his coaching days were over.
In late November 2013, on a trip home from Purdue, then-Illini staff member Sinclair pointed an unloaded gun at a car driven by an Illinois assistant.
