Noel Devine - RB - Player West Virginia RB Noel Devine ran a 4.43 forty at the Mountaineers' Pro Day on Thursday.
Devine did not run at the Combine for unknown reasons. He's up to 5-foot-8 and nearly 180 pounds, but is still a borderline draft-able back. Devine's heavy workloads at West Virginia seemed to catch up to him late in his college career.

The reason he slowed down was his foot...a bone bruise.

There was a time when most would not be able to catch him, the second half of the previous year and most of this year he was not 100% and it showed when he would break away...esp this year. Not only that but it hurt him at times shifting around. Many times he could juke people out of their shoes and watching him for most of this year he was just not the same...sure he still could move and juke but nowhere near what he used to be able to do.

Not advocating drafting him as I think we probably could get him as a UDFA. I hope some team does take a chance on him as a change of pace back. He has worked hard and has had a rough life. I think playing at WVU instead of staying in Florida did wonders for the young man.

When healthy I think Devine is a more usable back than Jaquizz Rodgers.

If he's there in the 3rd round, good value!

If he's there in the 3rd round, good value!

Third? Try 6th. He's a situational back only and a kick returner.

He seems to have lost a gear already.
