BOBBEE BEE: THE NFL SHOWED "MAD" RESPECT FOR VA.TECH

THE NFL SHOWED "MAD" RESPECT FOR VA.TECH

The Hokies of Virginia Tech represented the state of Virginia very well this year at the 2018 NFL Draft, by having five players selected, along with providing a historic moment-when brothers Tremaine (Buffalo Bills) and Terrell Edmunds (Pittsburgh Steelers) were both selected in the first round, which made them the only brothers in NFL history to both be drafted in the first round of the same draft.

Along with the school's five picks, two others players recently inked "unsigned" free agent deals-Cam Phillips (Buffalo Bills) and Linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka (Jacksonville Jaguars). Not to be under looked, kicker Joey Slye also was given a rookie minicamp tryout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Virginia Tech draft picks:
Round 1, 16th pick LB Tremaine Edmunds (Buffalo Bills)
Round 1, 28th pick Terrell Edmunds (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Round 5, 26th pick DT Tim Settle (Washington)
Round 5, 29th pick G Wyatt Teller (Buffalo Bills)
Round 7, 23rd pick CB Greg Stroman (Washington) (Source:DieHard) (E.Graham)
