***Pro Hokie Updates***
@VT_Football: According to the NY Daily News, the NY Giants have signed another Hokie, this time DT Carlton Powell. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/ny-giants-injury-ravaged-defensive-line-a-painful-subject-shaun-rogers-lost-season-article-1.1136481
@VT_Football: By my count that makes 10 former #Hokies in NFC East camps alone! Dallas (2), NYG (3), Phi (2) and Wash (3).

NY Giants' injury-ravaged defensive line is a painful subject as Shaun Rogers is lost for season - NY Daily News

The Giants opened training camp with what looked like the deepest defensive line in the NFL. Now they are closing training camp with a line that has become dangerously thin.
