Virginia Tech’s Undrafted Heroes: Which Former Hokies Are Poised to Shock the NFL?
Well, the dust has finally settled on the 2026 NFL Draft, and it’s a tough pill for Virginia Tech fans to swallow—no Hokies heard their names called this time around. That said, it’s important to spotlight Mansoor Delane, who, although he made his mark in Blacksburg for three seasons before heading to LSU, went off the board sixth overall to the Kansas City Chiefs. This absence of draftees isn’t completely unprecedented—it’s actually the second occurrence in three years and the third over the past seven seasons, which makes you wonder about the shifting tides for a program that, before 2019, hadn’t missed a beat in decades. But hey, don’t write the Hokies off just yet. Several players managed to snag undrafted free-agent contracts or rookie minicamp invites, keeping that NFL dream alive and well. Here’s the lowdown on where Virginia Tech’s former warriors are heading next as they embark on their pro journeys.
