The 2025 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting time for Virginia Tech and its fans. Several former Hokies have garnered attention over the past few months, and with the draft just over two weeks away, final preparations are underway. One standout is former Virginia Tech cornerback Dorian Strong, who could be selected on Day 3. Though he was eligible for the 2024 Draft, Strong chose to return to Blacksburg for another season, a decision mirrored by many of his teammates.
As NFL teams complete their final pre-draft evaluations, Strong has secured a notable meeting with a top AFC Super Bowl contender—the Buffalo Bills. This opportunity places him in elite company, as recent Hokie standout Chamarri Conner was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs and already boasts a Super Bowl title. Interestingly, the Bills have frequently crossed paths with the Chiefs in recent postseasons, making Strong’s visit to Buffalo particularly intriguing.
For Strong, a potential spot on the Bills’ roster would be a favorable outcome. As reigning AFC East champions, Buffalo has maintained a strong defensive identity under head coach Sean McDermott. Though McDermott has faced criticism for falling short in the playoffs, his defensive mindset aligns well with Strong’s strengths. That Strong has caught the attention of a coach like McDermott speaks to how well he has performed during his pre-draft process.
While a visit doesn’t guarantee Strong will be drafted by Buffalo, it’s clear he has made a strong impression. His decision to stay another year at Virginia Tech appears to be paying off, and he’s now firmly on the radar of NFL teams. Regardless of where he lands, Dorian Strong has elevated his profile at the next level.
