Illini in the NFL: NFC-AFC Championship Weekend

Sure, it’s not the trademarked Final Four in college basketball postseason terms, but it is the remaining four teams left vying for Super Bowl glory in the National Football League.

Green Bay Packers. San Francisco 49ers. Tennessee Titans. Kansas City Chiefs. Two Illinois Fighting Illini remain. Let’s single them out for being part of the Illini Family and hope that both of their teams win this weekend... maybe. Depending on where your allegiances lie.

And then there were two.

Fascinating point to make: Both of these players are from the same 2014 Illinois Fighting Illini recruiting class.
