The Washington Redskins arrived at the 2018 NFL Draft with a Virginia Tech foundation in tow on defense; Torrian Gray had made a name for himself as the team’s defensive back, coaching up the likes of Kendall Fuller, Quinton Dunbar, and others.
The Redskins clung to that pipeline later on in the NFL Draft, much like they’ve preferred Alabama players in Round 1 over the past couple years, selecting former Hokies lineman Tim Settle in Round 5 and cornerback Greg Stroman in Round 7.
When the NFL Supplemental Draft came around, the Redskins couldn’t resist temptation, and threw in a sixth-round flyer for former Hokies defensive back Adonis Alexander.
