Scott Porter: What is your height, weight and estimated 40 time?
Shay Hodge: 6'1" 1/2, 208 lbs. and I'd estimate my 40 at about 4.5 flat.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Shay Hodge: I want to get into the rotation and play right away. Contribute to whatever team I go to right away in whatever way I can.
Scott Porter: What are your greatest strengths?
Shay Hodge: I would say my hands, my route running ability. A big strength of mine is catching the ball at its highest point in the air.
Scott Porter: What will you miss most about college football?
Shay Hodge: I will miss playing against all the good teams in the SEC that I have played against the past four seasons. They were tough games but I will miss them. All the rivalries we had in college such as Florida, Alabama and LSU. Walking around campus before the game and to the game I will miss.
Scott Porter: What NFL player reminds you of yourself?
Shay Hodge: I have always compared myself to Reggie Wayne and Sidney Rice.
Scott Porter: What type of person and player is an NFL team getting in you?
Shay Hodge: They are getting a player who tries to do all the right things. I work hard on my weaknesses to become a much better player. I strive to be the best and work hard to do whatever it takes. Off the field, I am a very funny person. I love to joke around and I keep everyone laughing.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Shay Hodge: I love to play basketball. Pretty much basketball and video games are my biggest hobbies off the field.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence?
Shay Hodge: Deuce McAllister and a lot of my coaches. It is hard to just say one person, but all of my coaches challenged me to do more to become the player I am today and they have made me a better person.
Scott Porter: What are your greatest personal accomplishments on the field?
Shay Hodge: Well, I would start with being the first receiver in Ole Miss history to reach the 1,000 yard mark in a season. I own the single-season receiving yardage for a WR at Ole Miss. I am the all-time yardage leader in receiving yards as well. I also caught the 86-yard game-winning touchdown pass to beat Florida my junior season.

(September 21, GBNReport.com) --
Virginia Tech redshirt sophomore RB Ryan Williams is questionable at best for Saturday�s conference opener against Boston College after he injured a hamstring in last weekend�s win over East Carolina. The injury is not believed to be serious even though Williams had to be helped off the field and spent the second half on crutches, however, he has practiced on a limited basis this week.
