Hudgins and Virgil get their calls

Former Gryphons Terrell Hudgins and Stephan Virgil were both passed up in the NFL Draft, but soon after the conclusion of the final picks, both were on the phones finding a team to land with.

Hudgins is expected to fly out to Dallas tomorrow to sign a rookie free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys, according to multiple sources. These include Dr. Barbara Holt, Hudgins' mom, Leslie, and Elon University's news website, and unofficially through T-Mobile's Facebook, where his wall was splattered with congratulations and "how 'bout them Cowboys?" posts.

Virgil's agreement to sign with the Buffalo Bills, has to this point, only been seen by yours truly on Tony Doughtie's blog. Virgil did post a Facebook status confirming that he was signing with Buffalo, and that the "Buffalo Bills just picked up a balla."

NFL rookie camps begin next week, and hopefully both will be with their aforementioned teams.

Good luck to both of them as they begin the next chapter in their lives. Congratulate their families if you see them, and if you are lucky enough to see the guys this summer, grab their autograph. I know I will. Because you never know.....
