Hokies Lineman Wyatt Teller Talks Taco Bell

If you had just $5, what would you order from the Taco Bell menu?

Teller makes a block while maintaining control of an oversized Beefy Fritos Burrito.

Virginia Tech offensive guard Wyatt Teller is a noted pancake enthusiast.

Reports from tonight's media session indicate he's also a Taco Bell aficionado.

If you're wondering, a single Beefy Fritos Burrito has 440 calories and 18 grams of fat. Teller-size your order (multiply by 8), and it's 3,520 calories and 144 grams of fat a pop.

I'm pretty sure that dude lives there. I've seen him at the Taco Bell on Main St. at least 3 times.

So you live at taco bell as well, you guys roommates?

They're a late night favorite of mine too at $1 a piece.

Trust me, it already has. I can confirm they are a great way to gain weight though.

"OL Wyatt Teller strongly recommends the Taco Bell beefy fritos burrito. Eats 8 at a time."

And proceeds to use the restroom 16 times in the next 12 hours...

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

Hnnnnng.....*Must've

They had a beefy potato burrito that had real cheese and something like tater tots in it that was fantastic and like two for three dollars. Those and a double decker and a Doritos locos taco is a fine meal.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

But is it fine for your body? Haha

That meal isn't horrible if you have it only once or twice a month.

Three chicken soft tacos fresco style are one of the healthier fast food meals you can have. Way too much sodium like all fast food but otherwise not a diet buster.

1 million legs to the man who adds a Taco Bell "fire fart" coming out of Teller as he pancakes that guy

I would go with Teller to Chipotle a lot before he enrolled at VT, that dude would inhale 2 of the biggest burritos I have seen under 10 minutes. Literally gets double everything.

I love me some taco bell as much as the next guy, but after seemingly reading about the diets of Hansen and now catching a glimpse of that of Teller, it really makes me wonder what they could do with a nutritionist who got them to eat right instead of just eating a lot

I had the same thought. I'm sort of assuming a nutritionist is involved somehow, who would know way more than what I know (hay and oats, mostly, with the occasional apple or carrot), but if Teller were eating 100% pure healthy in large quantities, would that be better than chowing down on Taco Hell?

Sometimes you just need cheap calories to keep the weight up. I am sure these guys have a nutritionist wagging a finger at them like when your dentist asks how often you floss.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

there is a nutritionist on staff. I remember her getting interviewed when the locker room renovations were complete. the problem is that big men burn a lot off when they're working as hard as they do, and just to maintain weight is a problem let alone gain weight. nutritious meals just don't have enough calories and fat unfortunately.

Yeah but he's gotta be eating 50 grams of sodium a day or more. High fat high calorie is fine, but those sodium levels will kill you.

I'm not claiming to be an expert on this, but I lift regularly and nutrition was something I would read about in my spare time at Tech. Since I prefer to look lean instead of "big", I tend to eat almost exclusively healthy foods (probably about 3,500+ calories a day). I have not put on significant weight in 5 years. Now think about an offensive lineman. Those guys weigh probably about 40-50 pounds more than they would naturally and they are working out/practicing all the time. They probably have to consume close to 10,000 calories a day to even think about putting on weight. Their options are:
-eat only healthy foods. This is impossible. You will learn to hate food if you are consuming 10,000 calories worth of meats, veggies, fruits, and nuts. I'm not kidding; it will make you want to throw up.
-eat a mix of junk and healthy foods (get your nutrients from healthy foods, get your calories from junk). This is by far the most practical approach and I'm sure most of the players take this route.

I really don't see what is so unhealthy here

Breakfast: seven eggs, two cups of oatmeal. Rye toast with jelly on occasion.
Lunch: Qdoba.
Dinner: Training table.
Late-night: Cook a pizza.
Etcetera: Intermittent feasting from a jar of peanut butter he carries around throughout the day.

I mean, pizza is obviously not good, and Qdoba isn't great but better than most fast food options. The rest of this stuff is the type of diet that body builders and strength athletes swear by

Yeah I don't see what is so unhealthy here either.... totally normal

I was a delivery driver for Alpha's while in school and football players routinely ordered the 2 12" subs, 2 fries, and 2 drinks deal for themselves. Always cheesesteaks and always double meat on both.

Well we all know that Taco Bell is the only restaurant to survive the franchising wars so eventually all restaurants become Taco Bell...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

We'll need these.

I wonder if Sly ever figured out how they work.

LMAO, I love it when people get my obscure movie references. Legs for all!

I actually threw out a "Murder Death Kill" in random conversation the other day.

"What seems to be your boggle?" is a regular part of my repertoire .

Based on the box office results of this movie. 7 people actually saw it. I now know 3 of them.

It was the first R movie I saw in a theater.

I completely forgot that came from this movie. I use that all the time. For some reason I thought that was from Coneheads.

Just realized that's the same guy from Miss Congeneality.

While it disappoints me that there is a person with greater knowledge of Taco Bell than I have, I am proud that he is a starting member of the Hokies' O Line.

I'd say "AM Crunchwraps on me next time I'm in Blacksburg, Wyatt" but that's an NCAA violation. And I don't have $5,000 to spend on one day's worth of AM Crunchwraps for Wyatt.

Storrs must not have a Taco Bell.

Don't these guys have team meals available to them?

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Pre-game and when dining halls are closed, yes. Otherwise, generally no. They are provided mostly snack stuff like bagels/cereal/protein bars/etc in the players lounge/OASIS.

And now we know what color commentators will be talking about after Teller's first pancake block of every game.

Damn. Wade got huge.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

Wyatt looks angry he was photographed. Sure hope it was Sam Rogers taking the picture

Wait. Wade posted this on Twitter. So doesn't that mean Wade took it? Wade is sitting right to be taking a selfie with his left hand. I assumed Wyatt was just being a goofball for the camera.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

To me it looks like he is chewing a burrito

Sh!t! I thought the picture was being taken from so far away that someone else must have been taking it, but it does look like Wade is holding out his left hand and taking a wide-angle selfie. I didn't even realize his left arm wasn't in the picture. I jumped to the conclusion that someone else was taking the picture with Wade's phone.

Wade is so big, he can take selfies in panoramic mode.

"I liked you guys a lot better when everybody told you you were terrible." -Justin Fuente

Either Wade is flashing the "get loose" sign to symbolize the loose bowels that taco bell gives you or he is ironically flashing the "hook em' horns" sign because we all know that's not beef they're eating.

also why is the logo on his sweatpants backwards?

It's all smoke and mirrors.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

also why is the logo on his sweatpants backwards?

He took it with the front camera. Either that or he's Illuminati.

I'm pretty sure consuming that much Taco Bell causes a warp in the space-time continuum that has bizarre effects on things nearby.

"Exit light..."

And since the warp occurs in your lower intestine, the VT logo on Wade's sweats would definitely be nearby.

When i worked at Pizza Hut bavk in the day, the qbs would bring the oline in for lunch buffet on thursdays. Busiest time of the day for employees trying to keep that thing stocked. Made me feel proud though knowing i was helping out.

Also i remember sitting next to Josh Redding at Dietricks. He had like 6 milks he was drinking. full glass, not mini carton. His tray was loadloaded up too abd that was just one of his trays.

Matt Lehr was a friend of mine, and he blew up like 50 lbs from freshman to sophmore year. He used to tell us all the supplements they were given. He eventually got in trouble for roids as a Cowboy.
