Sydney Brown, Jartavius Martin and Devon Witherspoon all played in the same Illinois secondary in college. Now, they’re headed to the NFL Draft.
Sydney Brown is a big hitter, Jartavius Martin is a ball hawk, and both former Illinois safeties are mind readers.
“Sydney knows what I’m thinking and I know what he’s thinking, a lot of the times,” Martin, who goes by “Quan,” told The Post. “It allowed us to play fast and at a high level.” Brown and his twin brother Chase — likely to be drafted as a running back — were raised in Canada by a single mother who was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease when they were 16 years old.
“My high school basketball team would start the game off with an alley-oop and I was the [dunk] guy,” said Martin, who took a pre-draft visit to the Giants’ facility. “That goes hand-in-hand with football and the nickel-safety role — being able to go high-point the ball presents an advantage over a lot of guys.”
