who I was shocked to find out isn't in the HOF. Attached is a highlight reel that shows similarities. For the easily triggered 49er fans, I'm not saying he is as good but looks similar. I will say this, if Mock stays healthy he could easily be playing on Sunday's and predict will be the best Purdue RB since Alstott
During yesterday's Mock coming out party, it occurred to me he reminds me of Roger Craig
- Thread starter BSIT
- Start date
Alstott was an all time great for Purdue no doubt. He is up there with Keyes and Armstrong.
However, missed in the conversations of Purdue RBs over the last 20 years is Kory Sheets that had over 3,300 yards rushing for us and 48 TDs. He was toward the end of the Tiller era/beginning Hope era, so he seems to be forgotten sometimes.
Yes, the high knees and wigglying around at first contact. Spot on!
He also has receiving skills too. I hope Brohm will use him more coming out of the backfield. He can be a deadly outlet option for AOC
As long as he can continue to secure the ball in his unorthodox ways, let this man continue to do these great things 
Love that guy. Cooper’s staff kept pressuring him to cut class to make room for football practice, and Smith told them to pound it and took the year off.
Really we've been waiting to see Devin play just one way, all of his Highschool production was done never leaving the field being that guy on both sides of the ball. He's able to keep that high level energy going now playing one way. If he can go from 195lb "that is his weight not 180lb" to 205lb-207lb by next year and still be able to keep his running style he's gonna give opposing Defenses headaches and take alot of pressure off of AOC s successor come game day. The most important thing for him is being on Scholarship.
I'm excited for the guy too, but can we possibly come up with some comps that aren't in the NFL HOF? geez
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to get a guy on scholarship mid season since the 85 have already been allocated, which was difficult to begin with due to the extra Covid year eligibility.
But I would like to see him get set up with a NIL deal in the near term, and I'm sure the staff will take take of the scholarship situation for 2023.
Keep working nephew and stay hungry. Those bread crumbs is what keep a man wanting more.
Just Sayin!
Just Sayin!
If someone enters the portal at semester, couldn’t Devin take that scholarship for the second semester?
I generally shy away from comparisons. But I will say that I've seen a lot of great backs in my lifetime (for reference I saw Keyes and Sayers play), and they have a couple of things in common.
They don't absorb the contact as much as they deliver the contact and they always finish the run.
Doesn't hurt to be elusive either.
I look forward to watching Mr. Mockabee carry the football for a long time to come.

Neither Craig or Alstott are in the HOF
This has come up before, but I'm struggling to recall the details. I think.. I think.. the scholarships are guaranteed for the entire academic year. I have advocated in situations where guys opt out of a bowl game to pull the spring semester scholly. At the very least, that is considered taboo. Now, if a guy actually leaves campus for good at semester break, that's probably a different story. Usually the portal guys stick around and take classes until summer. You've also got early enrollees to consider.
We haven’t seen this in awhile
Apparently he can have Cam Craig's football schollie and Craig can still be on academic schollie until he graduates.
I love watching the runners whose feet only touch the ground to make a cut. Mock's got that style where his feet don't seem to touch the turf unless he's cutting. The difference in styles between Mock and Doroue was so stark. King just runs in one direction in a tight package while Mock is all knees and elbows flying all over the place. I wonder who is faster?
Bad calf strain I think...
I think he was pre-med and wanted a career in medicine at some point after his playing days.....definitely wasn't there just to play football.
Figured he had to be smart if he was originally planning on attending Navy. Too bad we couldn't find more walk-ons like him and AOC. Good character men
