NFL recruiters timed the players in running and agility drills and recorded weight room stats for each athlete.
The 2007 NFL draft begins April 28.
Melendez named head of football operations
Adrian Melendez has been named to replace Lloyd Richards as Illinois' head of football operations.
Melendez came to Illinois in 2005 as the head athletic trainer for the football program. Before that he spent 13 years as an athletic trainer at Florida, where Zook coached prior to coming to Illinois.
"That position is one that's very important, because he wears all the hats," Zook said. "He has to think like me, he has to think ahead like me, and since he's been around me longer than anybody, that helps the organization run smoother."
Ticket prices changed
Fans purchasing 2007 Illini football season tickets can purchase horseshoe seats at a drastically reduced price as part of a "construction pricing promotion."
Seats in the horseshoe will sell for just $60 next season, as Memorial Stadium undergoes renovation.
Student tickets will also be available for $60 dollars each.
The Illini will play six home games in 2007.
Tickets are available at fightingillini.com, the Assembly Hall box office, or by calling 1-866-ILLINI-1.
