Last night I dreamt the NCAA gave one extra year of eligibility to any seven former VT players who didn't play in the NFL. I've been cooking my brain in the Florida sun and apparently beer isn't the best thing to cool it off. Hence, crazy dreams about VT football. Then I tried picking the 7, but woke up before I did so. The only thing I remember is prioritizing offensive linemen.
Who you got, be it one or all seven?

Defensive backfield
I wouldn't mind seeing DJ Parker and Anthony Midget. If they made an NFL squad, I don't think they had any stats.
Magnificent 7...actually 5
Brian Edmunds - strong like bull RB/FB, could be the lead blocker and goal line vulture.
Andre Kendrick - yeah, we already have a similar back in JC, but nobody had hair like Dre.
Vegas Robinson - would you really turn down a guy named Vegas?
I would split the last 4 remaining extra years between Druckenmiller and George DelRicco and give 'em 2 each because...well...those dudes had skills that every successful team needs: they knew how to fight and party.
Would love to have Brent Bowden and any of the r-senior kickers that we just kept plugging in until Journell
Greg Boone would be an awesome weapon at TE, let alone his excellent run block skills his senior year...can you imagine some kind of goal line package with Boone and Thomas?
Sergio Render in at guard, for sure
Areas of need
1. Matt Lehr, OG
2. Duane Brown, OT
3. Jeff King, TE
4. Jim Pyne, C (Move Miller to OG or something)
5. DeAngelo Hall, CB (People might not like this one, but he was a shutdown CB and a dynamic punt returner. Straight up play maker! I think the guys on this team could keep his attitude in check.)
6. Cody Grimm, WHIP
7. Ryan Williams, TB
Guys who didn't play in the NFL
Its supposed to be guys who didn't go to the NFL
My bad.... No NFL players In that case
1. Bryan Jennings, TE
2. Brandon Pace, PK
3. Dwayne Thomas, RB
4. Dwight Vick, OG
5. William Yarborough, S
6. Brandon Samones, WHIP
7. TJ Washington, OT
I'll Take
1. Nic Schmitt
2. Jud Dunlevy, Matt Waldron, Chris Hazley, or Dustin Keys (Any one of them)
3. Brandon Ore
4. Sergio Render
5. Blake DeChristopher (he hasn't played yet lol)
6. Roland Minor or Stephan Virgil
7. Ryan Shuman? We need another OL
If you can't tell from my selections, my VT knowledge only goes back to about the 2004 season.
The Diesel, Ken Oxendine.
Brandon Semones
David Pugh
Jarrett Ferguson
Browning Wynn (much better TE than Greg Boone)
Does Kevin Jones count?
He'd be on my list...
hmm, lets see. . .
Vince Hall. . .felt for sure he would have made it in the nfl
Brandon Ore. . .buyin rims my ass
Anthony Midget. . .speed kills
Jim Davis. . .nobody remembers him, had some huge plays at crucial spots in our first ACC season
Darren Evans. . . he didnt play in the regular season last year did he?
Sergio Render. . . what happened to that guy? he went from top prospect going into his senior year to off the radar
Jesse Allen. . . is he the one who jumped over the BC dude?
Brent Bowden. . . just dont let hime play enter sandman on hokievision
Jim Davis was one hell of a playmaker. I never understood why he didn't start until his last year.
How on earth did I forget Vince Hall...he could start at mike and let B. Taylor play backer, yikes
Jesse Allen was the guy who went track star over the BC player. Maybe my favorite play ever that I've seen live
Hall and Adibi
I will never forget the days of Hall and Adibi demolishing quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends... you name it. You entered their part of the field you better be ready for punishment.
1. DJ Parker (Don't think he played officially though the Niners picked him up as a FA)
2. Vince Hall
3. Brent Bowden
4. Nic Schmitt
5. Dwight Vick
6. Greg Boone
7. Richard Graham (this OL needs backups and he would be a nice utility guy)
Jake Grove
Not necessarily at C, but we need to get that nasty streak back on the OL.
Didn't read the criteria.
I just really miss Jake.
