The Kansas City Chiefs are at the Senior Bowl in Mobile just like the other 31 teams in the NFL checking out the top seniors in college football this season and what I found interesting is that they were seen talking to West Virginia running back Noel Devine.

Devine, was one of the most sought after high school running backs in the class of 2007 but has not lived up to expectations at the college level.

At 5’7″ 160 pounds, Devine is the smallest running back in the NFL Draft but is extremely quick and has great vision. The intriguing thing about the Chiefs talking to him is the fact that they drafted a similar player last year in the second round by the name of Dexter McCluster.

McCluster played running back, wide receiver, kick and punt returner for the Chiefs and had a pretty good rookie season. My football brain tells me that the Chiefs may be looking at Devine as a player who could fill in for one of these roles in 2012.

The Chiefs were also seen talking to Devine’s teammate, Jock Sanders, who’s probably the smallest wide receiver in the draft standing 5’7″ 180 pounds. Sanders is a similar player and it seems that Chiefs may be looking to fill a return role with Sanders.

I’m personally rooting for both of these guys because like McCluster, they are both from my home state of Florida and I love seeing Florida guys getting into the league.
