Illinois football has some special talent up front for the 2023 campaign
The Illini had one of the best seasons in the last couple of decades in 2022. We got to eight wins on the season, and players elevated the team to great heights. Illinois also had multiple players selected in the 2023 NFL Draft, including the No. 5 overall pick, Devon Witherspoon.
We could have had more players selected in the draft, though. Keith Randolph Jr. and Johnny Newton could have declared and they both would have been top-five-round picks.
