Scouting Report: Strengths
- Can get up under a receiver’s chin and has the speed to flip his hips and run downfield. Moore has the quick and surprisingly powerful hands to jostle receivers early. But he’s at his best peeking into the backfield.
- Gives great effort in run support, sticking his nose in as a tackler, and should be able to contribute as a special teamer covering kicks.
- Has the quick, agile feet and fluid hips to mirror quickness and change direction underneath. But he’s at his best facing the action.
- Can track the ball downfield and gets his head around when playing in a trail position, and Moore shows excellent ball skills when breaking on a route. He’s a plus tackler in run support as well.
- Flashes good ball skills. Moore has the fluidity and change-of-direction ability to mirror quicker receivers underneath.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Feet aren’t ideal, as Moore gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.
- Lacks a physical element to his game, and he doesn’t have a frame that can carry a lot of weight. He’ll get outmuscled at the top of routes by bigger receivers.
- Susceptible to the big plays as a gambler at the catch point and as a catch-and-run victim. He’s also too reluctant to come up and make hits in run support, often focusing on the strip more than the tackle.
- Neither his size nor his straight-line speed would be considered elite
