knapplc Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Maurice Purify takes pride in his Nebraska license plates and wears red Nebraska pads under his Rattlers uniform. "Once a Cornhusker, always a Cornhusker," the Rattlers' dazzling receiver said. If Purify remains with the Rattlers, there is a good chance they would get back to the Arena Football League's championship game. LINK Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 His baby's mama lives five houses down from me, so I see a fancy car or two rolling down ol' Gertie Avenue from time to time in his offseason. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I always thought Purify would catch on in the NFL some place. The guy doesn't lack for ability. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I was at the Barnstormers game here in Des Moines over the weekend. He still wears his Nebraska back plate. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Probably my favorite husker from last decade.. Had a wonderful career and brought it every game. Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's amazing to think he's a guy that can't catch on in the league! Those arena teams have a ton of talent and it's a lot of fun to watch... I miss the world league for stories like this alone... Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think this is the single biggest reason he hasn't caught on with an NFL team. A quote from his Arena coach, from this article: "He can be as good as he wants to be," Rattlers coach Kevin Guy said. "If his mind is right, and he stays healthy and he keeps himself healthy, then he's going to do some good things for us this year. "But, hey, he's got to stay focused and improve his game week to week." Quote Link to comment
