'There is no better fan base'

Christian DiLauro is trying to reach the NFL. And for the next three months, the 23-year-old former Illinois offensive lineman will give The News-Gazette a weekly look into his journey. Here's his second entry:

Training and prepping for the NFL draft takes up most of my time. But what do I do when I'm not lifting, exercising or training?I'm usually either hanging out with the other guys that are training with me or spending time playing video games.

I play a lot of games and chat with my cousins over the PlayStation chat because there isn't a whole lot to do around New Castle, Pa.
