Dan Orlovsky Vindicated After Virginia Tech QB Commits The Most Cartoonish Safety Of All-Time

Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones committed the funniest safety in college football history on Saturday afternoon in Blacksburg. Dan Orlovsky must be thrilled.

The former NFL signal-caller is no longer responsible for the most cartoonish safety of all-time!

Orlovsky (in)famously ran out of the back of the end zone against the Vikings on Oct. 12, 2008. Minnesota got two points and the ball. Detroit lost the game by two.

In large part because of the final score, the play has haunted Orlovsky. It followed him throughout the rest of his professional football career and continues to be a topic of discussion during his time as an analyst on ESPN.

Even though other quarterbacks have committed similar mistakes (Gardner Minshew did the exact same thing last season), it is Orlovsky’s blunder that continues to last the test of time. However, after 16 long years, his embarrassing safety has finally been topped!

Rutgers edge rusher Wesley Bailey manhandled Virginia Tech’s right tackle just before halftime on Saturday. He put him on skates and pushed the big offensive lineman into the quarterback.

Drones was knocked to the ground.

Had that been all, it would’ve been a major mistake that resulted in a fairly routine safety for the Scarlet Knights defense. But that was not all!

Drones launched the ball over his head and out of the back of the end zone as he fell for the funniest safety of all-time. Legend has it that the football has yet to land.
