Remembering former Marshall quarterback Derek Devine could be difficult. The strong armed signal caller transferred from Mt. San Antonio College (CA) to Marshall in 2005 and completed zero passes during his two year Thundering Herd career.
Despite his paltry numbers at MU Devine spent time in two NFL training camps. In 2007 Devine was the last quarterback cut from the Seattle Seahawks training camp, he suffered the same fate in 2008 with the Washington Redskins.
Devine recently resurfaced in the United Football League. After attending a private workout with the Virginia Destroyers they selected him with a 9th round pick in May’s UFL draft. The Destroyers are scheduled to open training camp in late July where Devine will fight for a starting spot. Competition at quarterback should be stiff, former second round NFL draft pick and WVU quarterback Pat White is also on the Destroyers roster.

ReplyDeleteI bet Pat White tears it up in the UFL. The players aren't particularly athletic
