More Ellis

Wouldn't worry about third-round Chris Ellis being a character risk. He was suspended a game in 2006 when he was arrested for obstructing a police officer near some off-campus bars. News reports were that Ellis was coming to the defense of a friend. Anyway, his mother, Laurie Ellis, said it would be way out of character for her son to go off without reason. Plus, after the shooting at Va. Tech last April, Ellis became one of the most-quoted Hokies and noted the roll football could play in helping the campus return to normalcy.
