Virginia Tech had a total of nine players selected in the 2006 NFL Draft,
which is a new school record. The Hokies are sending players from a lot of
different positions, including linebacker, offensive line, defensive line and
tailback, into NFL camps. Each player is stepping into unique situations with
the team they are signing with, and sometimes factors other than talent will
determine whether or not they make the team.

were drafted, and see what they have to face in terms of competition, and assess
their chances for playing time or making the team in their rookie season.
