Illinois is heating up as a NFL Draft factory, with three players already selected in 2026 and another trio—possibly more—on the verge of being drafted in 2027. Safety Xavier Scott, recovering from injury, could be a second-to-fourth round pick if he returns at elite levels. On the offensive line, transfer Christian Martin and interior standout Brandon Henderson are primed for NFL success. With Gabe Jacas gone, Joe Barna’s switch to pass-rushing could make him a fifth-to-seventh round steal. And at tight end, Davin Stoffel, Kaden Feagin, and Christian Abney could all explode if they’re given more targets in a revamped offense—potentially reshaping their draft futures.
