Several Hokies shine for NFL scouts on Pro Day


BLACKSBURG – Nine Tech alums participated in Pro Day on Friday on the Virginia Tech campus. That group included seven members of last season's squad – Kyle Chung, Vinny Mihota, Raymon Minor, Yosuah Nijman, Steven Peoples, Braxton Pfaff and Ricky Walker. A pair of former Tech athletes with NFL experience – Sam Rogers and Dadi Nicolas – each ran the 40-yard dash.

Four current NFL Hokies were on hand to support the next group of Tech players with pro aspirations – S Terrell Edmunds (Steelers), WR Isaiah Ford (Dolphins), DT Tim Settle (Redskins) and CB Greg Stroman (Redskins). In addition to Justin Fuente and the Tech coaching staff, numerous members of the current squad were on hand to cheer on their teammates.

We conducted exclusive interviews with our current Hokies playing in the National Football League, as well as reaction from OL Kyle Chung on his Pro Day Performance.

Here's a quick snapshot of some of the superlatives from Friday.

The 2019 NFL Draft will be conducted April 25-27 in Nashville. But as history tells us, undrafted Tech players can also make an impact in the professional ranks. CB Brandon Faycson signed with the L.A. Chargers as a rookie free agent last season and played in 15 regular season games.
