Hokie ClubThe 2023 NFL Draft is seven days away, which goes along with Michael Vick's number he wore while playing at Virginia Tech and the Atlanta Falcons – the famous No. 7.
Vick would play in Atlanta for six years and was a three-time Pro Bowl selection, amassing over 10,000 passing yards and 70 touchdowns in the air, while rushing for nearly 4,000 yards and 21 touchdowns to lead the Falcons to two playoff appearances.

Before his time in the NFL, Vick was a cheat code in college, too, passing for over 3,000 yards and rushing for north of 1,000 on his way to totaling 38 touchdowns to earn All-America status and lead the Hokies to the national championship game.
The draft will take place in Kansas City this season and will be over a span of three days, beginning on Thursday, April 27 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network, with the Carolina Panthers on the clock. The second and third rounds will commence Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday's final rounds starts at noon.
Tech had 11 players compete in its pro day last month, as the group seeks to make it on an NFL team this upcoming season. The Hokies have had four players drafted in the last two drafts and have had at least one Hokie selected in 28 of the last 29 drafts.
