BLACKSBURG – On a rather frosty March mid-week morning, a large contingent of former Virginia Tech football players showed up for job interviews at the Hokies’ weight room and also the Indoor Practice Facility.
The Virginia Tech football program held its annual “Pro Day” on Wednesday morning, as a combination of scouts and personnel executives from all 32 NFL teams coalesced in Blacksburg in search of future employees. Eighteen former Tech players worked out for the scouts in what many described as a job interview – arguably the biggest one of their lives.
“It’s been fun,” offensive lineman Wyatt Teller said of a process that started shortly after the Hokies’ loss to Oklahoma State in the Camping World Bowl.
