veteran Hokies guard with NFL-caliber experience
Render was a four-year starter at Virginia Tech and logged 51 career starts, earning second-team All-ACC honors in back-to-back seasons and drawing strong NFL draft buzz for his consistency and toughness in the trenches[3]. The main reason to care: he offered proven, high-end line stability, plus the kind of durability and edge that coaches love in a guard. For a team, he looks like a fit if you want a battle-tested interior blocker with a blue-collar mentality rather than flashy athleticism[3][2].
