The draft was starting to come to an end and I wasn’t sure if another Illinois player was going to be selected, but Fejedelem made it just in the nick of time.
Fejedelem was a two years starter with the Illini and he showed why he was draft worthy.
In his first starting season in Champaign, Fejedelem racked up 49 total tackles that included two pass deflections and one fumble recovery.
Fejedelem entered his final season with the Illini just hoping to make an impact and he did more than that.
The senior season for Fejedelem was extremely successful.
