The NFL Draft is finishing up on Saturday, and this is where the former Illinois football players would be picked or signed.

Some of the Illini players won’t get drafted. That doesn’t mean they won’t be with a team. A lot of past Illinois players have signed with organizations as priority free agents. This also helps them down the road because they can negotiate their own contracts instead of having them predetermined.

Look for a handful of Illinois players to either get drafted or sign with teams on Saturday. There are a lot of talented Illini players out there, including running back Reggie Corbin.

Corbin entered the Illinois program as the No. 1534 player in the class of 2015. Not many people thought this kid was going to make a big impact on the program. But he proved the doubters wrong. After dealing with an injury to start his career, Corbin burst onto the scene.

In his last two seasons with the Illini, Corbin averaged 982 yards from scrimmage each season. He also averaged eight touchdowns per season too. This kid was a big reason why the Orange and Blue found their way back to the postseason last year.

But what team will Corbin land with? I think he has a solid chance of getting picked in the NFL Draft. What team would be the best option for him, though?

Here are three NFL teams who need Reggie Corbin the most.
