No Nerves...Just Football

While there are currently many Hokies representing Virginia Tech in the NFL, 23 actually if I did my math right (22 players and 1 assistant coach), Tyrod Taylor was by far the most anticipated Hokie to watch at the kick-off of Preseason. Thursday night he made is NFL debut sporting QB #2 for the Baltimore Ravens in a match up against the Philadelphia Eagles and none other than fellow Hokie, Michael Vick.

In Taylor's first NFL appearance he was 19-of-28 for 179 yards, 2 interceptions, 5 sacks and 0 touchdowns. According the Raven's post game blog:

His head coach and offensive coordinator were still impressed.

"I thought Tyrod did some great thing; he's going to learn more from his game than any game his whole career today," John Harbaugh said. "He was electric at times, that's exciting."

"He's a young man who learns quikcly, and you almost see improvement on every play," Cam Cameron said. "It's not too big for him. He has poise."

Poise is right! Even the post game reporters couldn't shake his nerves.
