This is great for the school, Hokie Nation, and for David.
hopefully he can chase some recruits around the drillfield and convince them to play for us
New River Valley rabbits...
thats awesome hes such a class act hed be great to help recruiting
How awesome would that be to see him compete in the Olympics? I hope he makes the team.
I've heard that he's going to finish his degree. Does anyone know what degree he is pursuing?
I also saw him on NFL...Live?...once in the early season, is he going to be pursuing any sort of work in the field of talking heads?
I believe he was actually a history major, or was at one time...
As for the latter, probably. I read somewhere he was seeking advice from the great Bill Roth.
I would love to hear that he's connected with Bill Roth. Maybe they can bring him into the booth to give him a little seasoning.
Maybe they could groom him as Burnop's eventual successor?
Half of me would love to see that, the other half would like to see him in a more visible position. It would be nice to hear DW4 scream "HE's GOT A MAN OPEN....FULLER, JR! HE DID IT, BILL! TYROD, JR DID IT!!!"
david is the type of athlete that will be successful in whatever hes focusing on doing. glad he chose to do it at VT. recruits can see that hokienation always supports its members even after their NFL career is over.
Can he actually participate in Track & Field since he was a paid athlete in Football? I think so if he did not have any endorsements and was only paif by the NFL?
Reading the linked article answers that question for you.
That sounds like an awful lot of effort ;)
And the article only stated he could not compete because his 5 years of NCAA eligibility expired, did not discuss the sponsorship issue
Since his eligibility expired, your question about 'sponsorship' is moot. I don't understand how that was unclear. He's ineligible because his eligibility expired. One reason for no eligibility is all that's required.
Gotta get me some of them PANTS (Allen Iverson voice) DW is promoting...

I have to agree these pants are fucking awesome and perfect for getting away with a little team spirit on game days when you are stuck at work
