Former WVU Mountaineers running back Noel Devine has signed with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL, West Virginia Illustrated reports.
↵Devine signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent in July, but he got cut a few days later. Now he's joining former quarterback Pat White (who's a member of the Virginia Destroyers) in the UFL.
↵Devine surely would have been a role player in the NFL - primarily a return guy. His size would be a detriment there, and his speed probably wouldn't be enough to make up for NFL defensive players' increased quickness. In the UFL, though, he has a better chance of contributing, although he'll have to compete with none other than Maurice Clarrett, a fellow Nighthawks running back, for playing time. Also, the travel in the UFL sounds awful - the four teams are in Virginia, Omaha, Las Vegas and Sacramento.
