Illini on 2019 NFL Rosters

Here are your Illini in the NFL post roster cuts, listed in alphabetical order of NFL teams.

Cincinnati Bengals:

Clayton Fejedelem, Safety/Special Teams: The former Illini linebacker is on the cover of this post for a reason. He was named team captain of Cincy’s special teams unit in 2018 (and again this year), had 23 tackles on defense and even scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery a season ago.

Detroit Lions:

Tavon Wilson, Safety: The NFL-vet and former member of the 2007-8 Rose Bowl team took less money to remain with the Detroit Lions in 2019.
