Overview

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.

Brett Favre … he is so consistent and brings it every time he steps on the field.

In college, what player hit you the hardest? Who was the recipient of your best hit?

The University of Arizona safety after I caught a pass over the middle. Notre Dame safety Tom Zbikowski was the recipient of my best hit.

What TV-show marathon will keep you on the couch all day?

24

What are the five most-played songs in your iPod? What's the one song you hope nobody ever finds out is in your iPod?

What celebrity would play you in the movie version of your life and why?

Ben Affleck because people say we look alike (though I don't think so).

What is one thing your teammates don't know about you?

That I am part Mexican and can speak Spanish.

What reality TV show would you like to be on and why?

"Punk'd" because I know I'd do something that would probably make national news (although that's not necessarily a good thing).

What's your proudest moment in football? Proudest moment off the field?

My proudest moment is re-capturing "the axe" by beating Cal my senior year. Proudest off-the-field moment is receiving my Master's and bachelor's from Stanford in just four years.

When you play Madden, what team do you use? Do you put yourself on the team?

The Titans, because it is hard to pass on that game so I just run all over the place with Vince Young. No, I'm not into the whole "create yourself" thing.

Who has been the biggest influence on your football career and how?

My Family: It has not always been a smooth road and their support has allowed me to get where I am.
