Hokies in the NFL 2022

Welcome to another year of me trying to find every Hokie on an NFL football contract. I will try to find every roster move in NFL as best I can. As always if you see a roster move please add a comment with it. I will not be doing any CFL or arena league anymore. It's really frustrating and time-consuming feel free to add them in the comments for others if you wish.
I will also add a list of every former Hokies coaching in the NFL.

Level Seven Podcast - New episode with Billy Hite is awesome

There is a new Level Seven Podcast with Roth, Burnop and Billy Hite. It will not disappoint.

https://hokiesports.com/podcasts/level-seven-episode-1-2/100

He goes into many things of the past and is as straight forward as ever. Definitely holds no punches which makes me even more excited about Pry and supporting this new regime.

Well worth the listen.

Comparison of Competitiveness by Conferences

This all started from an argument with a co-worker (went to UF) about how the SEC is the best football. My argument was that just because you have the best players doesn't mean it's the best product. Bama and UGA plowing through people doesn't make for entertaining games.

This lead me to the thought of how competitive each conference is within itself. My hypothesis was that the ACC would be as good as any because well we've all dealt with coastal chaos.

This table show just how close and how far apart the games were within each conference from the 2021 season.

ACC Road Trip - Virginia Tech

Thought this was pretty good, Brent Pry has all that media-facing energy that CJF could never muster, and I think that matters nowadays more than ever.

Also liked the facilities tour, they should let Hoke Club members pay to hang out in that lounge, looks like a good time.

ACC Coaches Talk Anonymously About Conference Foes for 2022

From Athlon: https://athlonsports.com/college-football/acc-coaches-talk-anonymously-a...

"The program did real damage to itself keeping Justin Fuente for that extra year. Maybe even the last two."

"It's not a stretch to say the offense doesn't have a top-half-of-the-league-level skill player at any position. They haven't signed a single player in the last two years that a high-level ACC program wanted."

Alot of the stuff we've been saying here too.

Solid Verbal Virginia Tech Preview

Nothing groundbreaking, but I thought it was good listen. VT talk is from 39:55 to 47:25

On Brent Pry:

Brent Pry, my boy comes down from Penn state. I love the hire. How could I not? Brent pry is pure masculinity. Dan, from the beard to the hair, to the pants that are apparently a little too tight. The rugged outsider, Very rugged, very outside. There is a mountain man, quality to Brent pry that if you've ever driven the I 81 corridor at Western Virginia it'll play there...

On our outlook for the season:
