How validating is it as a coach to have someone under your tutelage make the NFL (Mike Reilly)?

Describe what it's like coming out of that tunnel to "Enter Sandman"...I got chills just watching the entrance on youtube.

We talked about Mike Reilly a little bit back in May when he signed with Cleveland, most def I'll ask about him and the other guys he's coached. Those "Enter Sandman" videos get me hyped too

Would you recommend recruits in highschool now to play at Virginia Tech? What would've been his dream school?

He said yeah, the new coach is great and with VT being a football school it'll always be a great place to play.

:snoop:at me not asking this question DURING the interview. He said it was legit and hype as hell in his playing days, going back as a coach on the other side and seeing them come out the tunnel was :whoo:and kind of intimidating

How many players (percentage wise) on a team are on pain killers?

What kind?

Do players in the offseason take better care of their bodies than maybe years past?

If he has any other insight into players health and wellness he would like to share.
