NEWARK, Del. -

Like the countless other NFL personnel who have come before, they followed Pat Devlin's every move during Delaware's intrasquad scrimmage.
The 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback didn't disappoint, firing crisp and precise passes in the Blue Hens' spread offense. Perhaps seeing enough, the scouts quietly exited the stadium after one of Devlin's on-the-money throws midway through the scrimmage.
As he has been since transferring to Delaware from Penn State in 2009, the fifth-year senior was oblivious to the attention.
"I'm just focused on taking the team as far as I can," he said, shrugging off the NFL attention. "We want to win a national championship. That's our ultimate goal. . . . I want to do whatever I can to help this team achieve that."
Perhaps.
But scouting Devlin appeared to be a top priority for NFL teams this summer.
