Cowboys Draft Danny Coale, Remaining Hokies to Sign Free Agent Deals

Virginia Tech Hokies football, basketball, athletics blog and forum featuring: unique columns, breaking news, film studies, in-depth analysis, recruiting, videos and jokes.

Danny Coale was the last of the trio of Hokies to be drafted. The Dallas Cowboys selected him with the 17th pick in the fifth round, 152nd overall. ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay has been bullish on Coale since the combine. He referred to him again as a, "blue-plate special".

You can listen to Coale talk with the Cowboys brass right before being picked. Also, here's an interview he did with 105.3 The Fan. The hosts joke about Coale working in at punter. If that happens, hopefully he does everyone a solid and punts a ball through the JumboTron.

Even though they weren't drafted, other Tech hopefuls will get their shot as undrafted rookie free agents. Eddie Whitley will join Coale in Big-D. Cris Hill will sign with the Buffalo Bills. Jaymes Brooks signed with the Packers. It sounds like Jarrett Boykin will be a Jaguar. Finally, Blake DeChristopher is close to signing with the Arizona Cardinals.

Congratulations to everyone!
