Christian DiLauro is trying to reach the NFL. And the 23-year-old former Illinois offensive lineman is giving The News-Gazette a weekly look into his journey. Here’s his 11th entry (catch the whole series at IlliniHQ.com):
I feel like the pro day at Illinois went well. I definitely surprised myself on a few things. I had goals to be within the top 5 of all the linemen that were invited to the combine. I was able to achieve those goals in a most of the drills.There were a few teams that showed interest and pulled me aside to ask a few questions.
