Devin Haney brings length, ball production, and special-teams grit to NIU
In his 2018 and 2019 seasons at Northern Illinois, Devin Haney showed the kind of versatile, hard-nosed profile coaches love: a 6-foot-1/6-2 corner with special-teams value, 26 career tackles, one interception, one pass breakup, and even a blocked kick in 2019. He wasn’t a volume-stat star, but he flashed instincts, willingness in the run game, and the competitiveness to earn starts as a young player. That combination makes him the kind of depth piece who can help on coverage units and develop into a reliable outside corner if the athletic traits translate consistently.
