Overview

Classic 'tweener who dominated the Pac-10 at times as a big wide receiver, but lacks the speed most teams are looking for at the position and may ultimately be forced inside as a receiving specialist at tight end. Signed with Stanford as one of the nation's more highly decorated two-sport athletes, and saw time for the Cardinal basketball team as a freshman and sophomore before focusing on football. Blessed with the combination of size, athleticism and hands to be an intriguing specialist, but significant durability concerns make Moore a late-round or free-agent prospect.

Analysis

Positives: Athletic build with room for additional growth. ... Surprising initial quickness off the snap. ... Can defeat press coverage with his athleticism, but relies more on his size and strength. ... Obvious advantage due to his size in jump-ball situations and times his leaps well. ... Reliable hands. ... Tough. Will take the big hit and make the catch. ... Flashes the body control to be a quality route-runner. Negatives: Lacks the speed teams prefer on the outside and has zero experience as a tight end. ... Big and physical as a wide receiver, but is only a marginal downfield blocker and would have to add a great deal of strength to perform as an inline blocker. ... Has struggled mightily with injuries throughout his career, missing time due to a dislocated hip and stress fracture in his right foot, among other injuries.
