  • Summary: Moore was a serious weapon for Western Michigan over the past three year, and he should maintain the program’s streak of receiving talent for NFL drafts. Moore broke out year as a freshman in 2019 with 51 receptions for 802 yards and three touchdowns. In the shortened 2020 season, he recorded 25 receptions for 388 yards and three scores. Moore then put together a superb junior year, hauling in 95 passes for 1,292 yards and 10 touchdowns.

    There is a lot to like about Moore, who looks like an effective slot receiving weapon for the next level. He is a run-after-the-catch playmaker and a threat to rip off chunk gains on any reception. Moore displays quickness and shifty route-running and has just enough burst out of his breaks to create separation. He is also a natural hands catcher who does a very reliable job of securing the ball. Moore is a feisty fighter of a player who energizes his team and is a good contributor as a slot receiver.

    Moore faces some limitations for the NFL because he is short and lack elite speed. He could have problems with longer cornerbacks, and getting off jams and re-routes could be an issue for him. Even though Moore is quick and a shifty route-runner, he is not a speed demon like a Jaylen Waddle. Moore’s size limits him to being a slot receiver in the NFL.

    In the 2022 NFL Draft, Moore looks likely to go as high as the second round and shouldn’t fall lower than the fourth round.



    Player Comparison: Jamison Crowder Crowder (5-9, 177) and Moore are very similar in size and are both dangerous slot receivers. Crowder is a quick route runner who can get open and has reliable hands. Moore could end up being similar pro player to Crowder.
