Illinois standout will watch NFL draft from hometown
The draft is almost here, and I'm ready for it. I will leave Champaign on Tuesday for home in Akron, Ohio, where I will rent a place for the draft and have a party.
I didn't get invited to New York for the draft. Everyone says they are surprised about it. I'm cool with it though. It would have been awesome to be one of the 26 players there and be part of the tradition of going to New York and being called up on stage to hold a jersey. But this way I get to spend the day with my family and friends.
