AF89 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I don't mean necessarily by us (though I wouldn't mind us bringing him in as a FA.) Dude was pretty spectacular at West Virginia, I remember how heavily recruited he was coming out of high school. A year ago I wouldn't have pegged him to slip past the 4th round which surpises me that he went completly undrafted.Any lingering injuries? Character concerns?

Mr Pickle1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 He weighed in so light at the combine, people just took him off their boards.Which I think is dumb...he was more durable at that lighter size than some bigger backs who go drafted.

MSalmon Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I think the character questions and being unable to put on weight drove him down. I think he could have a future as a COP back and/or STs guy, regardless. I like the Jacquizz Rodgers pick for us better as i think he is more of a "workload" type back. But Devine would be a cool FA signing as well, as he is superfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoTFan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Small back in every way. Tiny hands. Cant run inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 most GMs took him off their board for his frame.i said this when it leaked, and nobody listened.LOL at those saying we should take him in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Same Ol Falcons Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 you can dig if you want and look, but I said he wasn't worth picking and he would go undrafted....you can't be built like a prepubescent 13 year old and play in the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucdUp Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The kid can run but he's 5'5.5" - 5'6" and 160 soaking wet. He might get a KR job but I wouldn't bet on it. His hands aren't all that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucdUp Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 The "character concerns" were more about who he was surrounded by then he himself. I believe at one point in high school he was "taken in" by Deion Sanders because his home life was so jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitestain Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Because he's like 5'5 175. That's barebly big enough to ride a rollercoaster, much less play in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe at one point in high school he was "taken in" by Deion Sanders because his home life was so jacked up.He had 7 kids with 6 different girls by the time he was a senior in highschool. Yeah, I'd say that's pretty jacked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whitestain Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) Jizz runs like a 215 lb running back though. Devine looks like a child. Edited May 1, 2011 by whitestain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller2Rison Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Jizz runs like a 215 lb running back though. Devine looks like a child. lmao, man a lot of times they will add a couple inches to players for roster, like Warrick Dunn was only about 5'7 and he was always listed at 5'9. I played for a team once that had me listed at 5'11 and im only 5'8. Devine looks about 4 ft tall, dude prolly has to ride in a booster seat. I see nothing wrong with a midget in the backfield tho, get on the goal line and pick him up and throw him over, then defenses would start adding midgets to their roster then on goal line situations we'd be seeing midgets flying in the air, they love the Vick circus act why not addd some flying midgets?

3nOut Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I went to WV with these guys. Devine is actually 5'7. And come on man don't post that picture of him with Wes Lyons (#4) dude is a 6'8 wide out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ki46dinah Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Devine benches 430, squats 500, and powercleans 300...its funny that a few pounds makes any difference when the guy is strong as crap...stronger than Sproles even, who has been a fine changeup back.

And come on man don't post that picture of him with Wes Lyons (#4) dude is a 6'8 wide out.Thank you. There are no character issues with Devine. None. He is 5'7 about 175. A lot of you are just going off of what you heard 4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoned_jc7 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 As far as character issues, that's fine. Those sound legit, although that is high school. A lot of young people do stupid things in High School.I've seen him listed from 5-6 to 5-8. 180 pounds. Ok, he is small. In four years for WVU he ran the ball over 700 times, gained 4300 yards, and averaged 5.9 per carry. 29 rushing touchdowns and no fumbles.If the guy was 10 pounds heavier and 2 inches higher he would have been a third round pick. Reminds me of McCluster, which may or may not be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackredfellow Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Jizz runs like a 215 lb running back though. Devine looks like a child.As 3nOut already mentioned, that guy Lyons... 6'8". look at the thighs on that "little" guy. Those are Jamal Anderson thighs. People will see Devine again. In endzones in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller2Rison Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 u gotta admit it's a funny pic, i didn't know dude was 6'8. Undrafted players usually come into the NFL with avengance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
