No doubt he will be Gurley's new best friend.
I think he will quickly become a fan favorite.Blocker,receiver,special team demon.
Just really love this pick and the value of getting him in the 6th round.

Sam Rogers leads VT offense on the ground

In a rainy, ugly, sloppy game, it was the FB who stood above everyone else. To be honest, I’m having a tough time putting into words exactly how exceptional of a performance Sam Rogers put on Saturday afternoon. Whether he was leading the HB up the middle or sealing off the edge for a run to bounce outside, he simply did it all. Rogers finished the game with an 88.5 run-blocking grade, with only a few minor blemishes keeping that from reaching 90.

Fullback: Sam Rogers, Virginia Tech

Sam Rogers fits into the traditional fullback mold, but also offers diversity to the Hokies offense. He has seen playing time at tailback, fullback and tight end this year. With the quickness to run routes, and the physicality to punish defenders between the tackles, Rogers offers a match-up problem for defensive coordinators. He ranked second in the nation at the position with 287 receiving yards, adding three touchdowns and six broken tackles. Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente has even used him as a passer on trick plays, with reasonable effectiveness. Oh, and he loves to smash linebackers at the point of attack, ranking second in the nation in the regard in 2016.

A multi-tool player who isn't Tavon Austin? He will be a fan favorite no doubt...

I like it!

McVay will have fun with Tavon and Rogers. He will make sure Gurley has running room even if the o-line doen't pick it up simply from making teams have to second guess everything Tavon and Rogers will be doing out there. There are tools in place for a real NFL offense on this team. Just need a mastermind to not fudge it up.

I'm EXTREMELY curios to see how McVay uses TA.
I think we've finally found an offensive mind that can utilize his skill set appropriately.
McVay, Olsen and Lafleur. If they can't do it....I give up

What an intriguing player and pick. He is not the prototype size wise fullback. He can do it all. Nice tool to keep defenses guessing.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Our front office definitely wanted this guy.

They knew that if they waited until the seventh round he would have been gone, more than likely.

Players that are projected as udfas often are snatched up with those seventh-round draft picks.

McVay and Snead were not going to risk it.

 

[den-the-coach]

Being honest here....Criticized the pick when made, but McVay spoke about utilizing different match ups giving the defense multiple looks and I guess that's an upgrade from the likes of Boras, Groh & Weinke.

 

[A.J. Hicks]

McVay will have fun with Tavon and Rogers. He will make sure Gurley has running room even if the o-line doen't pick it up simply from making teams have to second guess everything Tavon and Rogers will be doing out there.

An eye formation with Tavon as the Tail Back and Rogers as the Full back. So many options!

 

[ReddingRam]

Not the least of which, guys like him are alos usually very good and core ST's players. He has both skill sets and heart. Can't have enough of these guys.

I really like Rogers too! Do you think this^^ means some competition for Hekker this year!?!

 

[BuffaloRam]

I like the pick - and it wasn't in the second round like Brian Leonard back in 07...

Haha, I'll always remember that pick fondly. Was at ramstalk back then and when the Rams made that pick some poster (something like cucumber or pickle Ram) lost his shit. I think he managed to cry on the Internet. Didn't understand how someone could act like that over a 2nd round pick....until we saw leonard in pads when the season started.

[Memento]

I admit that I wasn't a fan of a fullback. I thought that we didn't need one with Harkey. But if Rogers is a better version of the guy the Whiners signed...well, sign me up!
