Champaign, Ill. (WICS/WRSP) — Sydney Brown has officially been selected as the 66th overall pick in this year's NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Brown was a team captain for the Illini in 2022-20223. The 6-foot safety was named as a second-team all-American and first-team all-Big Ten, voted on by the conference coaches.
Sydney finished his senior campaign with six interceptions on the season and was among the few to forgo the Reliaquest Bowl in January and focus on the NFL Draft.
