No Virginia Tech football player was selected in last month’s 2024 NFL draft, but a few quickly found homes afterward. Defensive tackle Norell Pollard signed with the Washington Commanders, and fellow DT Pheldarius Payne reached a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Another of Tech’s defensive tackles, Mario Kendricks, had a tryout with the Kansas City Chiefs, while wide receiver/kick returner Cole Beck had tryouts with the Falcons and Jets.
It didn’t take Kendricks long to land a job, as the former Hokie signed a deal with the Miami Dolphins.
