Here is a list of the 273 players that were drafted between 2000 and 2013 that have never played in an actual NFL game. Shows that even getting drafted makes it extremely difficult to make the field on an NFL team.
There are nine Virginia Tech players on this list.

Not sure if a Labor Agreement or something changed but take note of the significant decline in the number of players that never played in recent years. It likely has to do with player control on the rookie contracts for those drafted versus undrafted players. 2008-2013 combined have 36 players that have never played compared to the 35 from the Class of 2000.
