NFL Hokies: Week 2 preview

There is a lot to anticipate regarding this weekend's games now that Week 1 of the NFL has concluded, and Week 2 is underway. Before diving into that, let's look at a few standout Week 1 performances by our former Virginia Tech football players.
 
Read below for a full rundown of what's happening Week 2 in this Wednesday's edition of NFL Hokies presented by Coca-Cola.
 Notable Week 1 Performances
G Wyatt Teller
Two-time Pro Bowler Wyatt Teller finished out Sunday with his highest pass block percentage. Teller finished with a percentage of 88.2% in the Browns' win against the Bengals, setting a career-high in pass blocking percentage, his highest rate since 2018. This is Teller's fifth season with the Browns, continuing his high hopes to attend the Pro Bowl a third time.
 
RB Khalil Herbert
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert made some moves last weekend, finishing with 64 total yards with three receptions for 37 yards. Starting the season off strong, Herbert also rushed for a two-point conversion. This marks a solid performance for his eighth career game.

Starting his ninth season, Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas amassed four receptions over 43 yards in the team's win against the Arizona Cardinals.

LB Tremaine Edmunds
Chicago Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds came out of his first Bears game totaling eight combined tackles with four solo tackles. Edmunds is expected to have a big year after signing the largest four-year contract for an inside linebacker in NFL history.

T Christian Darrisaw
In 58 pass block snaps, Christian Darrisaw finished with a 73.9 pass block percentage in Minnesota's game against Tampa Bay. Darrisaw is entering his fourth season with the Vikings and currently is the only Virginia Tech player drafted in the first round in Vikings history.
