If chip Kelly is going to try and keep an offense similar to thE one he had at Oregon, mike Vick is a damn good piece to have.

New Arizona Cardinals head coach, and former Hokie QB, Bruce Arians on Ryan Williams:

“I know Ryan can flat run the football -- I’m a Hokie. I know all about Ryan, and I love him.”

Another Hokie signed by an NFC East team, Ed Wang signed by Philly.

They can use all the o-line help they can get. If Wang is fractionally competent, he should make their squad.

Thursday's combine weigh-in results:
Becton = 6'5" 323, 35 1/2 inch arm length
Painter = 6'4" 306, 34 inch arm length

They'll bench today.

Today's weigh ins:

Davis = 6'3" 233 lbs, 32 3/4" arm length
Fuller = 6'2" 204 lbs, 33 1/4 " arm length

Fuller has longer arms than Davis? I did not expect that.

Couple good Fuller tweets:

Coming from a track background has to be perfect for the 40

Painter doing work with 32 bench press reps. Becton (19) not so much...

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Fluker only 21. Surprised for that one. Also, Aboushi, 17...., sounds about right for argyle power

 

[hokiecheme11]

Painter ran two unofficial 4.87 forties, 4.95 official. 5th fastest among OL. Guy looks huge out there.

2013 pro days schedule - NFL.com

Do we really not have a pro day this year? We have 5 guys at the Combine, but no pro day? I feel like this is really weird that we wouldn't be helping out our former players more, but I guess there's probably an explanation I just don't know about.

 

[hokiegrad]

I assume VT will have a pro day but that the date just hasn't been announced yet.

Becton puts in an official time of 5.20 in the 40.

 

[wildturkey]

If Painter doesn't get drafted, he should go into MMA. Dude is a freak.

 

[MattB4VT]

I really wish grimes had been here starting in 2008. Would have gotten so much more out of painter and others. Painter is such a scary looking person, but he's really nice and a cool dude

 

[Taz_Hokie]

Corey Fuller posted a 4.43
Marcus Davis put up 19 reps in the bench.

 

[hokiehi21]

Painter (4.95) ran a faster 40 than Bruce Taylor (5.01)

So Davis mom was in the hospital after a stroke during his time at the combine... Bad news influences receiver's workout

Also note, there was a question above about whether VT would be having a pro day. According to the article, they are. Didn't give an exact date, but said it's in 3 weeks.
