Also loved the freaks list but shocked Martez Wilson isn’t on it! Football player never matched the athlete but haven’t seen many with more God given ability.

I loved the Illini Freaks list. I’ll never forget being in 7th grade, attending Ron Zook’s kid football camp, and my jaw dropping when I got to shake Rashard’s hand, then dropping even further when I realized he was our running back. Dude was absolutely stacked.

I was an impressionable youth and still have a vivid memory of the cross field lateral on a kickoff for a touchdown that Lonnie Perrin either threw or caught. He was fun to watch.
