NEW YORK -- Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer has been invited to the April 28-29 NFL draft, where the league will honor the memory of the 32 people killed Monday in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history.

League spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday that Beamer had accepted the invitation. Aiello said the NFL is still working on plans to honor the dead.
