Listed at 6-4 190 (although he has added weight since being a twig his freshman year.

2012 stats: 39 catches 514 yards 13.2 avg 3 tds
Career Stats (3 seasons): 117 catches 1586 yards 13.6 avg 7 tds

I am fairly biased but I think he has a chance to be a good pro. Big body, fairly fluid, and while he isn't blazing fast he has good speed for his size. His quarterback has really held him back his whole career with his lack of accuracy and inability to find the open man. Also our line has been shaky in pass protection limiting the ability to run deep passes.He is a redshirt junior so part of me thinks he might stay at Pitt another year so he will have someone other than Tino Sunseri throwing him the ball.

Anyone else have an opinion on his status as a prospect and how he will do in the NFL so I can see how biased I actually am?

He killed us this year. Has an NFL body, but he just isn't very fast or strong. Couldn't beat our terrible corners deep, which can be put on Sunseri to an extent, but doesn't scream upside. He reads zone well and knows where to sit down and get open. He might be a late round guy, but my guess is he goes undrafted. He's kinda like Derek Hagan (not Hagan as a prospect coming out of ASU, but Hagan playing right now).

I would pick him up in rounds 5-7 as I think he is better than his college career shows. He just has an inaccurate QB throwing to him and isn't exceeding great at anything. Plenty of those types of WRs are successful in college and the pros. I think he could have 3rd round potential just hasn't played to that level yet.

I remember him catching a touchdown against us. He had huge games against Syracuse and Louisville.

I know Devin personally, we went to the same HS, played baseball together our whole lives...etc etc

That arrest story is very ticky tack and they won't get in any trouble once the facts come out about that case...I can say that with absolute certainty. There were allegedly some racial slurs being thrown about by the kid who got hit...so yeah.

Anyway, I can say there were a lot of hopes for Devin to be an NFL player, and I think when he was stuck with Sunseri at QB they kinda crashed and burned. He's talented, and I think he'll get drafted but it's tough to say now.
