There have been some impressive wide receivers to put on an Illinois football uniform in the 2010s.
Throughout history, the Illini have produced some great pass catchers. David Williams in the 1980s, Brandon Lloyd in the early 2000s and Arrelious Benn in the late 2000s were all legends for this program.
