Former Virginia Tech offensive linemen Wyatt Teller will always be remembered in Blacksburg. He plowed over defenders regularly and often gained praise for pulling off ridiculous, almost superhero feats in the weight room. 

Teller — who has quickly emerged as a staple on the Cleveland Browns offensive line after getting traded from Buffalo back in October — has already won over the hearts of the Dog Pound. The long hair, unmatched physical strength and blue-collar mentality allowed for a seamless transition.

Teller cemented himself an instant upgrade for second-year QB Baker Mayfield who struggled mightily during the first-half of the season. 

While mauling defensive linemen, carving holes for Nick Chubb and protecting Mayfield are Teller's focus areas, the former Virginia Tech bruiser added a new skill to his craft in the first half of Thursday night's emotional victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

You saw that right, folks. 

Clearly it was completely unintentional, but Teller's quick-thinking likely prevented another major disaster (Cleveland has -4 turnover ratio in 2019-20). 

On a night where late hits, ejections and fighting was on display between the two rivals, it was refreshing to see someone wearing black and gold greet Teller as he climbed to his feet after a minimal gain. 

Anyone who follows Virginia Tech football will know that No. 34 for Pittsburgh is Terrell Edmunds, who played in Blacksburg alongside Teller. This moment will surely get brushed aside for anyone without a connection to Lane Stadium, but for Hokies fans, it was pretty cool.
