I'm glad he'll be interning. I'm also glad we'll get to see him once again.

We've seen interns work their way up to become scouts in the organization (Bruener, Iwuoma). Maybe Hokie is aiming for a DL job sometime? Hoping to take John Mitchell's spot when he retires? Just throwing it out there.

He's the kind of under the radar player that I would bet is gonna be a damned good coach. Sign him up!

Definitely. He didn't get to stay in the league for what, 10+ years, by being the most talented guy out there. He was an undersized free agent at backup nose tackle, a position that doesn't see much time. He got by because of his work ethic, technique, film study, etc. All the details that maximize your skill set.

Nice. I do recall Chris Hoke being extremely high on Fangupo, tweeting about his approval of his pickup or something like that

I liked Fangupo as well , hopefully in Hokes case its not a BYU thing and talent based ... I always felt Fangupo could make a good NT but thus far NFL teams have not felt the same way , perhaps Hoke can help change their minds
