They Said It
• TKR Offensive Film Analyst Anthony Siciliano: "When watching his tape, you can see that he is a long strider, who is a pretty fluid route runner for someone of his size. He is also a matchup problem for secondary defenders, due to the catch radius that he offers. Add in the fact that he also has strong hands and catches the football away from his body when attacking the football through the air and you definitely have some skills to work with when developing him. As for dealing with press coverage, he does a solid job of just keeping his hands and feet tied together just enough n order to create that necessary separation needed to get into his routes.
Fundamentally as a blocker he does a nice job staying with blocks and keeping his feet moving. Whenever he engages in blocks, he shoots his hands directly inside the defenders chest plate, this way he is able to have full control of his defender.
Overall, Moore is another young playmaker that has some tools that the new coaching can help to develop into a nice, young player in the future."
