On September 13, 2015, Tyrod Taylor played his first game in the NFL, as a starting QB, against the favored Indianapolis Colts. The only other Hokie QB to start a game in the position since 2000 is Michael Vick. During the preseason Gobbler Country explored the match-up between, arguably, the two greatest Hokie quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. Gobbler Country will now take this opportunity to explore the performances of these Hokie pillars, in their respective opening NFL starts.
Michael Vick was chosen by the Atlanta Falcons as the first pick of the 2001 NFL Draft.
