WATCH: Illinois players show off their dance moves during practice featuring throwback music
Football is important.
For many of these student-athletes, football means everything to them. Of course, not everybody is as talented as they wish they could be.
Players have other hobbies too, of course, and one in particular is dancing. At Illinois, the Fighting Illini like not only dancing, but throwback music as well.
While at practice, a video surfaced showing WR Ricky Smalling and DB Nate Hobbs absolutely killing it on the football field. Not with their football abilities, though.
Their dance moves:

Can you dance like this?
I’d like to say that I can, but then again, I may be a bit delusional.
One thing is for sure: Smalling and Hobbs can bring out the moves — on the football field or dance floor.
