Virginia Tech football: Khalil Herbert standing out this preseason for the Chicago Bears

Khalil Herbert only played one season at Virginia Tech, but what a season it was for the running back.

In the strange year that was COVID-19, Herbert played in 11 games for the Hokies in 2020, rushing for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. Herbert also finished with 179 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also proved to be a capable kick returner.

The sad part of Herbert’s time in Blacksburg is he never got to experience a game in a jam-packed Lane Stadium.

Somehow, Herbert wasn’t even a first- or second-team All-ACC selection at running back.
