a speedy, versatile Hokies back with real burst
In the 2013 season, Chris Mangus gave Virginia Tech a compact, multi-use weapon: 26 rushing attempts for 141 yards, 9 receptions for 72 yards, and a 6.1 yards-per-scrimmage average[4][6]. He was originally regarded as a speedy, elusive back with receiver upside, praised for breakaway speed, light feet, and versatility out of the backfield and slot[9][13]. The catch: his Virginia Tech career was brief and his path got bumpy after transferring, so he looks more like an athletic spark plug than a proven workhorse[1][3].
