Former Tech CB Torrian Gray returned to Blackburg on Wednesday for the Pro Day of Adonis Alexander. Before putting Alexander through his paces for 23 NFL teams, we caught up with Gray about a pair of Redskins' rookies. Make sure to check out what Gray was saying about former Tech and Stonewall Jackson High School teammates, CB Greg Stroman and DT Tim Settle, who were both picked by Washington in the 2018 NFL Draft.
