Happy for Tyrod, but was rooting for 49ers

Ray Lewis is scum.

Well said, but according to RR, it was God's plan.

49ers

I know way too many b-more fans and I'm a skins fan so can't be too excited to see them win.
It is funny how far Tyrod has come. I still remember him crying on the field when my high school (Maury) beat Hampton in the playoffs his last year. Then him being a stud with Tech, now getting a Super Bowl ring. Nice to see people from that area doing something good.

That is awesome

Just being there on the field has to be an incredible experience although I'm sure its frustrating to be right there on the biggest stage and not get to play.

I consider an honor to have seen him in action for much of my time as an undergrad.

How many other Hokies?

I don't know if this has been brought up or not, but what other Hokies have won Superbowl rings?

Off the top of my head

Antonio Freeman
Don Strock
Cornell Brown

Edit: I was actually wrong about Don Strock, he was a year late.

according to the @VT_football tweet last night:
Carroll Dale
Jim Richards
Tom Beasley
Roger Brown?
Tyronne Drakeford
Antonio Freeman
Vaughn Hebron
Cornell Brown
Todd Washington
Pierson Prioleau
Tyrod Taylor

And as Rocco mentions below, Bruce Arians won one as a coach

I think Bruce Smith has been in the most Superbowls, but the Bills could never overcome the NFC East for that ring.

Thanks!

They should give Bud Foster a ring just cause he's Bud Foster.

Been a Niners fan my whole life, but I'm OK with Tyrod getting his ring.

he should've had the ball in his hand on the fake fg

Thought the same thing!! But I also thought they should've just kicked it.

I expected him to be in the game when the Ravens were up 22... That would've been cool.
