Virginia Tech football has a rich history of players in the NFL from the days of Bruce Smith to the more recent times with students like Tremaine Edmunds, Christian Darrisaw and more.
With plenty of players on active NFL rosters, seeing Hokies play on Sunday is nothing new. While some memorable Hokies are dealing with injuries, we’ve seen some Hokies step up in the latest NFL action, with former kicker Joe Slye being one of them.
Here’s a look at how the Hokies in the NFL did for Week 10:
Top performers
Washington Commanders
- Kendall Fuller: What a week for the Commanders with their victory on Monday Night Football against the previously undefeated Eagles. Fuller came up big in the game with two key passes defended as Washington won 32-21.
- Joey Slye: The top Tech player of the week without a doubt. He made both of his extra points and went 4-for-4 on field goals, hitting from 32 yards and 44 yards while also connecting on two plus-50 yarders. He hit a 55 yarder in the fourth and a 58 yarder at the end of the first half.
- Logan Thomas: Had two catches for 12 yards on the day on four targets.
