As West Virginia University’s dwindling fan base celebrates the selection of three of their own in the NFL draft, real West Virginians were pleased as punch to hear that Jordan Roberts is headed to the pros. As I commented on Facebook, it is not unusual for true, blue West Virginians to turn flipflops over some out-of-stater while ignoring the virtues of their own talented brethren.

Former Scott High football star Jordan Roberts runs down NFL dream
No matter where you play, if you have the talent, somebody will find you. That is the motto of nearly every small-school football player with NFL dreams, and it definitely applies to Charleston running back Jordan Roberts.
