A former Illinois football offensive lineman has been to the pinnacle of the NFL each of the last four years, making it to the Super Bowl.
In three out of the four Super Bowls, the former Illini offensive lineman has gone home with the title. The tradition of having successful NFL offensive linemen come through the program isn’t slowing down anytime soon either.
