Declares for 2017 NFL Draft
Hodges declared for the 2017 NFL Draft on Friday, Andy Bitter of the Roanoke Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The redshirt junior capped off another 40-catch season in Thursday's thrilling bowl win over Arkansas and will now begin preparing for the draft process. At 6-7, 247, Hodges is a massive target that showed strong athleticism and reliable hands during his time at Virginia Tech. According to Bitter, Hodges was used primarily as a wide receiver in coach Justin Fuente's system this season, but he's considered a tight end prospect at the next level. Even in a draft class with good tight end talent, Hodges should be a Day 2 selection and figures to be one of the first three tight ends off the board.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Perhaps the top NFL prospect at TE, Hodges is a huge target at 6-7, 245, but he has the athleticism to repeatedly burn safeties down the seam, and he's an adept runner after the catch. He reached the 40-catch, 500-yard mark in each of his first two seasons at Virginia Tech, scoring 14 total touchdowns in the process. The arrival of former Memphis coach Justin Fuente means Virginia Tech's offense is going high-tempo, and the Hokies' severe lack of receiver depth means Hodges might effectively serve as the team's second wideout behind Isaiah Ford. There's huge upside here.
