10-ply
Leaves Ali Jennings as the odd man out.
His analytics were great, teams were worried most about his size.
But, if he makes the roster, I think lining up next to Jalen Carter negates a lot of worries about his lack of size.
Catching dow votes for that?
Charmin soft in here 🤣
Nelson got an invite to Chicago
That's 16 new Hokies in NFL camps this year.
Gibst mir den verdammten ball
those 2 might have been all of his 3's for the season
I'm actually more impressed with his athleticism...hardly a statue...and how aggressively he goes after the ball when it's headed his way. he may have to dial back the push off thing but better that than waiting passively. he's got "gimme the damn ball" written all over him (in German of course). MY will work on his passing...zero evidence of that in the video clips. the offense he was playing in had no movement so that will be new to him.
wouldn't surprise me if they try to move on from Etienne
Etienne also only averaged 1100 total yards and 5 TDs in the 3 years he's been healthy.
This is his make or break year after the Jags took up his option, doubling his salary to 6 mil this year.
They should be able to get that kind of production from Tuten at a fraction of the cost.

Wishing him the best in the NFL. Good luck Lane.

We lost a game due to two players wearing the same number. Marve couldn't adjust, Pry doesn't understand what an HC does game day, and Bowen who actually game planned and could adjust would just forget his freak of an athlete RB existed for long stretches. Our safeties play 15 yards out of position, our LBs don't understand you have to run to the ball, and our oline likes to injury our QB themselves. It's a dumpster fire of a shit show where the only coaches I felt good about are Price and Mines. We had talent that our staff had no clue what to do with. How do you have 2 AA Dline, a drafted DB and another that will be drafted next year and players like we did. Bud Foster would have had that group as a top 10 defense. Last time he had a single AA on the DLine he had the #1 defense, last time he had 2 we played for the title. I dont expect us to hire the next Bud, but still we should have been better than what we saw.
We had a major talent drain this off season, its going to be a rough year which sucks because I really like Siefkes and Montgomery highers if they were the initial hires. I like Brent Davis taking over TEs. I like Ferguson as the S&C coach. And Xavier as LBs coach is fantastic. But we're looking at 4-8 with Pry having the 2nd worst coaching record at VT in the AP era.
These numbers seem seriously sellable for recruiting. I know we didn't get any on the 1st 3 rounds, but still.
Still pending are
Jennings, Moore, Kaden Moore, and Nelson
And.... 8. Wow, again!!
7 UDFA so far
Wow! And now it's 7 UDFA players. I'm happy for all of them!
