if you looked at it from the receiving angle, yes. but from a blocking angle, they evolved into total studs. which is why they're in the NFL
but, yeah, both their journeys have been awesome

Reiman looked the part without necessarily putting up the numbers. Arkin is the surprising one for me.
How about NFL U?!?! I know we still have a long way to go to have as many as the elite programs, but I never would have thought that we'd have 22 alumni on NFL rosters. That's gotta be a recent (or potentially all time) high, right??
What a time to be alive as an Illini fan!

I would love it if the Bears traded Bagent (love him, but he needs an opportunity to try and be a starter somewhere and his value is about as high as it can be right now) and took Luke off of the waiver wire. Keenum can be the backup, give time for Luke to learn, and screw over the Lions at the same time.

Not sure how to explain some of this other than accounting for lag between when a coach is active and when players he recruited actually made it and played in the NFL. Zook had some stellar recruits that made it to the NFL, and I believe most of the posters here agree that Lovie recruited some studs, and pretty much did nothing with them. Suffice it to say I love where BB has the program and the direction is headed. Data via Google . . . .
Thanks for doing this. I was hoping someone smarter and less lazy than me would put something like this together. This is exactly what I anticipated it would look like.

hopefully the I Will path to relevance ....
You missed Newton and Phillips. Kendrick Green and Milo Eifler on the IR as well

Looks like the Beckman effect appeared for 7 years of generally downward trending.
I'm sure he'd hoped to get signed, but good for him.
!!!! it, I’m still buying an Altmyer Lions jersey and wearing it to the games this season! QB2 in my eyes!
I know so little about this. If a team were to pick a guy up on waivers, do they have to put him on the 53 man squad? Seems like if not there would be more movement.
Yes, which is why you don't see it happen that often.
I'd be shocked if you'd be able to find one. If so, you need to post it on here along with proof of where you bought it.
