PFF: Teller and Nijman Two of Tech's Three Top Returning Players

I found this ranking interesting. I can't remember the last time multiple offensive linemen were among the Hokies' top returning starters. (I certainly thought Cam Phillips would've been among the top three.) Also note the 7.4 delta in grade between Teller and Nijman, yet advanced metrics still rank Nijman fourth best returning offensive tackle in the ACC.

As far as humans are concerned, Teller (52) trailed only Clemson's Tyrone Crowder (123) in preseason All-ACC votes. Nijman only earned 5 votes.

The left side of Virginia Tech's o-line is not a concern, but the play from center on down through the right will determine whether or not the Hokies' offensive line will indeed be "special".
