The only reason he missed out on the team tackles lead in 1988 was because he sat out the season’s first four games due to a contract dispute, and his holdout lasted 67 days but by his third week back, he had reclaimed his starting position.
The following season, in a Week 9 game at Tampa Bay, Noble recovered a fumble from Buccaneers quarterback Chris Chandler and took it into the end zone for the only touchdown of his NFL career in a 27-0 Packers victory.
Diagnosed with a torn ACL, Noble was placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season and thus was denied the opportunity to play in his first playoff game as the Packers with Brett Favre and Reggie White began their rise to becoming an NFL powerhouse under head coach Mike Holmgren.
Noble also owned and operated a sports memorabilia and apparel business called “The Pro Image”, which was located in Kronenwetter, Wisconsin.
Noble and his wife have four daughters, and as of June 11, 2008, the entire family lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he later became an assistant football coach at Coronado High School.
