ed wang...


The Buffalo Bills 5th round pick out of Virginia Tech. Wang is an offensive tackle and of Chinese descent. His parents were both members of the Chinese Olympic track team in the 70's. His father competed in the high jump and his mother was a hurdler.

He's 6'5 and 314 pounds. Ed Wang may become the first Chinese-American to play in the NFL. Apparently, he was the first Chinese-American picked in the NFL Draft...

With San Francisco's large Chinese population- Wang would have been a good fit with the Niners...

Virginia Tech had an Asian-American, specifically a Korean-American drafted in the 1st round of the NFL Draft- Eugene Chung who was the 13th overall pick by New England in 1992. Chung played 5 years in the league.
