He made his own decision. Shyrone has his foot in the door, and the rest is up to him. The Hokies had seven more players on the board who didn t get drafted. He's an experienced player who's a great run-stopper. That's reaching, but I can't think of another reason why big Carl didn't get drafted.
Most kickers go the free agent route.
Not particularly a speed-burner, Hall had a good senior year, but not an NFL quality senior year. Hawkes is one of those underappreciated players, and the draft treated him that way. Short is not perceived as an NFL-quality lineman, despite having good size and being a second team All Big East pick. He'll have to prove himself via the free agent route. Williams is listed at 275, so maybe the pros think he needs more beef.
