Then they would draft actual full backs or bigger running backs that

have experience at the position and know how to block from that position. Drones probably hasn't been asked to block since middle school. No way an NFL team drafts someone like Drones to play fullback. EDIT: Here's a decent scouting report that has him as the 20th QB and an UDFA. I think they're giving him too much credit on accuracy, especially mid range over the middle. Otherwise seems pretty spot on. ** Edited by BoozVT at 1/29/2026, 8:17:43 PM

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....
TekkNerd • 01/29/26 06:12 PM ET
I can see him as a late pick. He has the right size and speed
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

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**
