hahahahhah I remember how all these WV fans used to cry about Noel Devine's ratings in NCAA .... he was faster in real life , he was this or he was that... well I guess it didn't matter in the real world because he didn't get drafted and was waived ..... I guess NCAA sometimes gets things right ... LOL

Re: Noel Devine
You can have all the speed in the world and still go undrafted.
In the NFL, everyone is that fast. You can't survive on speed alone. -
Re: Noel Devine
yup ... it just makes me mad when I see people complaining about the rosters that the community do for us. They complain about the ratings of the players from their favorite schools and make a big deal about it.My Toys

Re: Noel Devine
Noel Devine and Jimmy Clausen were two recruits that I just remember following from when they were in High School and into college... and just remember the madness that surrounded those two players. I guess neither were really busts, but I don't think that either of the two lived up to the massive hype either -- in college or now in the pros.Comment

Re: Noel Devine
College and the NFL are 2 completely different beasts and you can't say that since someone didn't make it in the pros that they weren't good in college. Denard Robinson is an awesome spread QB and should be rated highly as one, but he'd never make it as an NFL QB. That doesn't mean that he should be rated low in NCAA because he's very good @ what he does (did). The same is true for Devine.Favorite Teams:
College #1: Michigan Wolverines
College #2: Michigan State Spartans (my alma mater)
College #3: North Carolina Tar Heels
NHL: Detroit Redwings

Re: Noel Devine
Noel Devine was never the same after his injury. He was unstoppable but after the injury he lost everyhting that made him so good.Comment

Re: Noel Devine
It's very rare that an athlete lives up to his or her hype, especially in the NFL. There's a hundred Ryan Leafs to every Payton Manning.Comment

Re: Noel Devine
Well a player can dominate and be a high rating in college and not even get drafted.
Troy Smith won the heisman and got drafted in the 3rd or 4th round.
The Nfl teams are looking for NFL type potential and an NFL body.Comment
