Thanks for this post BIG C!
I'm a Hokie so I'm biased, but you have to look at JH's other upsides in addition to his workout. He's a total team guy & very well spoken. He played at WR, then HB (his high school position), then moved to safety his senior year and started. To start on a solid defense after never playing on D in one year is pretty impressive. And his stats don't suck, free safeties don't always rack up big tackle #s, especially in VT's defense. He showed a lot of discipline & was rarely caught out of position, especially on long balls. NO he's not the second coming of ST, but who is?
He never complained about his playing time for 3 years & was willing to move to free safety as a senior. The coaching staff said he's such a good athlete that they were confident they could move him into the position & start him w/no game experience. Total team player, would be a great late round pickup as he'll get better quickly. I could see him as a nickel for us & back up at free safety.
Will Montgomery is a solid guy who I'm surprised is projected that low, I thought he was 4th/5th rnd. material. If he's available late, he's exactly what we need - a backup OL who plays a couple positions.
