Devin McCourty
Devin is a redshirt junior at Rutgers University. He spent his freshmen year redshirting and learning the defensive system and building on his strength. Devin struggled his freshmen year watching his brother travel to games while sitting home and watching on TV. He used that as motivation and began to train very hard so he can find himself where his brother was. Devin earned his way onto the field and began to excel at this level. He is hoping for another solid junior year to catapolt him into his senior year where he will be looking for a high draft grade. Devin is majoring in sociology and has aspirations to one day play in the NFL. If that doesn't work out he hopes to be teaching one day.
