Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall said Saturday that his goal isn’t to prove teams wrong that passed on him in the NFL Draft, but “if it happens, it happens.”

Joe Reed was selected in the fifth round with the No. 151 overall pick. The Chargers are hoping he will strengthen their receiving corps with his versatility and play-making ability, in addition to his potential as a kickoff return specialist.

I’ll never forget meeting Bryce Perkins for the first time. It was a cold day in Charlottesville, even colder if you were accustomed to Arizona’s climate, where Perkins grew up and played college football before crossing the country to seek his quarterback fortunes.

Washington State teammates will never forget how much joy Bryce Beekman brought to their lives. Beekman, the older brother of Virginia basketball signee Reece Beekman, and former teammate of UVA QB Bryce Perkins at Arizona Western Community College, died unexpectedly last week at the age of 22.
