I can see him as a late pick. He has the right size and speed

to be a fullback. fullbacks are experiencing a minor resurgence in the NFL as specialized blockers and receivers to counter lighter defensive sets. teams like the bills dolphins and 49ers are leading this trend. ** Edited by Windows NT at 1/29/2026, 5:28:19 PM ** Edited by Windows NT at 1/29/2026, 5:28:57 PM

Jerod Evans was head and shoulders better, and yet...

He went 3-for-8 for 22 yards and an INT. Nothing changed.**
HokieMark88 • 01/30/26 03:44 PM ET
Zero % chance of him getting drafted as a QB. While the league does like

I want to agree with you on Drones speed, but he can move when he wants to.
TekkNerd • 01/31/26 11:43 AM ET
Exhibit A of recency bias. Worse than Grant Wells?
marcbvtgm • 01/31/26 10:30 AM ET
This past season he was absolutely worse than Grant Wells
TekkNerd • 01/31/26 11:36 AM ET
If I do a search, will I see you calling for Drones in ‘23?**
marcbvtgm • 02/01/26 10:45 AM ET
Of course I was calling for Drones in 23, Wells wasn't great.
TekkNerd • 02/01/26 11:56 AM ET
And my point is...recency bias**
marcbvtgm • 02/02/26 03:17 PM ET
IMHO his best shot is in the Canadian Football League (CFL).**
seacain • 01/30/26 12:38 PM ET
I don't see him getting picked at all. I hope he does, though.**
reestuart • 01/30/26 09:49 AM ET
if he ever plays a down in the NFL at QB I just hope it isn't for my team**
Vippie1 • 01/30/26 10:31 AM ET
The Packers showed the most interest
VTSweaterMan • 01/29/26 10:39 PM ET
I'm not surprised. He'll get multiple free agent options IMO
TekkNerd • 01/30/26 10:47 AM ET
Yeah, he's got no shot at even a practice squad spot IMO.**
marcbvtgm • 01/31/26 10:31 AM ET
Me either**
VTSweaterMan • 01/30/26 02:04 PM ET
Most likely...
khakiblue • 01/29/26 06:31 PM ET
If he is lucky**
949hokie • 01/30/26 10:48 AM ET
His football career is over IMO....

Windows NT • 01/29/26 05:27 PM ET
Late pick at a position which STILL has little role and he's never played?**
marcbvtgm • 02/02/26 03:20 PM ET
several ex nflers switched to positions they've played
Windows NT • 02/02/26 03:39 PM ET
Then they would draft actual full backs or bigger running backs that
BoozVT • 01/29/26 08:08 PM ET
Yep, ask any D1 or NFL coach. Ex-QBs are notoriously bad blockers. It’s
HoustonHokie • 01/30/26 08:27 AM ET
The part about stepping up in the pocket isn’t accurate either. Feels like
Tombo • 01/29/26 11:31 PM ET
Been a while, but didn't Michael Robinson make that position move?
KCHokie2 • 01/29/26 09:14 PM ET
also Brian Mitchell (ex washington redskins RB) was a QB in college**
Windows NT • 01/29/26 09:43 PM ET
Did you check to make sure......
