A group of former Illinois football players are gearing up for the NFL. Four ex-Illini players were drafted in last week’s NFL Draft. Defensive back Devon Witherspoon was taken number-five overall by the Seahawks, while defensive back Jartavius Martin was selected by Washington in the second rounder. In the third round, defensive back Sydney Brown was chosen by the Eagles and running back Chase Brown was drafted by the Bengals in the fifth round.
