The Super Bowl is over and another football season is in the books. Now much of the professional and college football worlds will turn their attention to the NFL Draft, but there’s still plenty of actual football that will be just getting started in the spring. Not surprisingly, many former Illinois Fighting Illini football players are making an impact in a number of these spring/summer football leagues.
Just like how former Illini basketball players Kofi Cockburn and Trent Frazier have inked deals to play professionally in other leagues outside of the NBA, former Illini football players have signed on to play with teams in the XFL, USFL, CFL, and beyond.
