Adonis Alexander Drafted by the New Orleans Breakers

Great to see a Hokie get another shot at a professional career in football.

If you haven't been following the USFL draft, the overall format is pretty interesting. The draft will consist of 35 rounds over 2 days. The interesting part is that each round is dedicated to specific position groups. Here is a good draft guide.

Compensatory picks in particular are pretty interesting. Teams get to pass on a round for an additional pick in a different round. Teams also can take the compensatory pick before the round they pass on. There are some intriguing opportunities for strategy here. Here's a link to a better explanation: How Compensatory Picks Work in the USFL

It will be interesting to see if any other Hokies get drafted. I know opinions on spring football are decidedly mixed, but I think we can all agree that it is great for these guys to get additional shots at their careers of choice.

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill
