Mountaineer fans everywhere were shocked that David Sills V was not selected in the NFL Draft. There was little doubt he would be picked up as an undrafted free agent. Sills is headed to Buffalo to join the Bills Mafia.

The well traveled Bieglow was a very key component of the WVU defensive line during the 2018 season. Given his size and athleticism, it was a near certainty a team would offer him a contract and bring him into camp and see if he has what it takes.
Dravon Askew-Henry – Pittsburgh Steelers

In a great story, Askew-Henry gets a chance to play for his hometown team. He is from Alliquippa, just outside of Pittsburgh, and gets a chance to make the team as a safety.
