Scouting Report

Moss is a very good athlete with a ton of upside as a deep sleeper prospect, and he has accepted an invitation to play in the Shrine game. The most impressive aspect of Moss’ game is also potentially one of the things he needs to work on, which is his length. His length is a huge plus because it allows him to make catches away from his body and go up over the top of smaller defensive backs, but he has a very thin lower body which could get exposed against bigger, faster, stronger NFL defensive backs, guys stronger than he faced in his one year of college football. Inexperience will be a factor for Moss, but the talent is certainly there. He played basketball for the Jacks and has great leaping ability, and the fact that he played basketball and adjusted so well so quickly to football is promising. He caught 61 passes for 949 yards and six touchdowns in his only year of college ball, and I think if he is able to run in the low 4.5 range he should be able to easily get into an NFL camp, and if he can run in the 4.4 range, he might even hear his name called in the draft. He will have to work on the nuances of the game, just getting used to playing football and not being the best athlete on the field, but the upside is certainly there. Keep an eye on him in the Shrine game to see if he can make himself stand out.
