Congratulations to Isaiah Williams who led the Detroit Lions in receptions with four today. Great job.
I thought devito had a good game as well. Looked very comfortable, patient, made some good throws.

Don't care if it's an old expression, dumb to write this when he played for Illinois. I do realize the overall article was pro-Tommy.

Former Illini Isaiah Williams Continues Strong Preseason with Detroit Lions
The Former Illini had yet another productive preseason game.

Former Illini John Paddock and Tommy Devito Gain Reps in Preseason Action
The two recent Illini QB's got some game time during the NFL preseason.

Isaiah Williams hauled in six catches for 71 yards and notched an 11-yard rush against the Chiefs. He also returned three punts for 41 yards, including a 20-yard return to help set up Jake Bates for a 43-yard field goal that sailed through the uprights as time expired in Arrowhead Stadium.
Great to see Isaiah bet on himself and enter the draft and quiet all the naysayers. Would have loved to have him back for another season but seems as if he made the right choice. He is looking too valuable to cut and looks as if he is carving out a role that will get him a nice payday. Way to go Isaiah! I-L-L

Anybody have stats from our Illini during the preseason? Or know an easy place to get it?
I don't have any stats but I can summarize what the ESPN writers mentioned about each of this year's NFL draft picks, including the 4 former Illini:
-Johnny Newton: His recovery from the foot surgery and soft-tissue injury means that the Commanders have no idea what he'll do because of his time out but they're still excited about him. They don't know as of yet when he'll resume full-team work.
-Isaiah Adams: Assured of a spot on the 53-man roster in Arizona though they just don't know where they'll play him as of yet. They've primarily used him at guard but his history at tackle means that he'll likely be a swing option for Arizona off the bench to start out.
-Tip Reiman: Has established as a potential #2 TE behind Trey McBride. Has shown more receiving skills in addition to his well known blocking skills during camp. His versatility means he could see the field sooner rather than later.
-Casey Washington: Is in contention for the #4 WR spot in Atlanta after Rondale Moore suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice nearly 3 weeks ago.

Lions cut Donovan Peoples-Jones. Looking like Isaiah is a near-lock to make the Lions roster
Really hope he makes roster for what it will mean for him. But have to admit that outcome will be even more enjoyable because of post(s) on here saying he didn’t understand how NIL worked and it was a mistake for him to bet on himself.
I see Paddock and Randolph have been cut. Any other Illini?
