Christian DiLauro is trying to reach the NFL. And for the next three months, the 23-year-old former Illinois offensive lineman, who started 38 games the last four seasons with the Illini, will give The News-Gazette a weekly look into his journey. Here's his first entry:

Everything is so organized in college because you’re really on a true set schedule.
