Tyrod Taylor's Breakout Season

Virginia Tech fans are used to seeing the names of former Hokie defensive players being associated with the Pro Bowl. Kam Chancellor, DeAngelo Hall, and Brandon Flowers are all Pro Bowl defensive backs that many are familiar with. Although not unheard of, it has been quite some time since a former Hokie offensive weapon has played in Honolulu. Tyrod Taylor bucked that trend when he was called up as an alternate for the Super Bowl bound Carolina Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton.

Tyrod Taylor was named Pro Football Focus' Breakout Player of 2015!
