It’s hard to watch the tape and not love Moore’s game. He’s an inside linebacker with a throwback body type and intangibles that are off-the-charts. He plays with excellent instincts and recognition, showing little hesitation to run and hit. Unfortunately, a lack of functional speed limits his range and ability to handle coverage duties. He’s more than capable between the tackles as a 3-4 inside ‘backer but must prove he can hold up in a faster game at the next level.
Good football player with a nose for the action and strong desire to make a play once he’s in the vicinity. Thomas’ football acumen and execution are not issues, but his size, speed and length could be major hurdles to overcome. He’s physical in block take-on and instinctive to recognize play design, but playing around big blockers and chasing the action in space are likely to become larger issues for him as a pro.
