Noble starts quest for NFL with Pro Day
UNM defensive end Joey Noble extends during his vertical jump at the UNM Pro Day on Thursday. (Adolphe Pierre-Louis/Journal)When Joey Noble played football at Los Alamitos High in Orange County, California, he earned the nickname, “D-1 Joey,” because of his dream and likelihood of playing on the NCAA Division I level.
Now he’s hoping for the moniker, “NFL Joey,” as he dreams for his name to be called during next month’s NFL Draft.
Noble, a standout defensive end for the University of New Mexico, was one of several Lobos who participated in the UNM Pro Day on Thursday in their quest to reach the NFL.
