They thought he was perfect for the system despite the lack of physical skills, but it's just not happening. Rice is what Moore was supposed to be, and he no longer serves any purpose. His chances of making the team are basically non existent.
Bye, Skyy. |

Yep, he's had 2 years of development. Not showing a damn thing more than when he was drafted.

The draft nerds were all over him too. Dane Brugler called him the best route runner in the draft IIRC. And route running is literally his worst trait.

What Vleacherreport said about him POSITIVES — Consistently plays balanced with good quickness and body control. — Shows polish on the routes he is asked to run. Maintains speed coming out of breaks and understands how to stay friendly to the quarterback on his breaks. — Flashes the quickness and play strength to beat press coverage. Keeps corners off-balanced. — Tracks deep balls and can make the awkward catch. Is able to adjust for catches at all angles and come down with the ball. — Good hands. Snatches throws and rarely loses speed to create after the catch. —.Competitive. Fights as a blocker. — Aligned both inside and outside. Was also used on jet sweeps. NEGATIVES — Below-average height for the position. — Limited route tree because of RPO heavy offense. 2021 STATISTICS 12 G, 95 REC, 1292 YDS (13.6 AVG), 10 TD NOTES — 2021 first team All-MAC OVERALL Moore aligned outside and in the slot at the college level. He does not have great height, but he does have a solidly built frame that allows him to play through contact while running routes. Moore also showed polish on the routes he was asked to run in Western Michigan’s RPO-heavy scheme. With consistent glimpses of his body control when breaking on routes, Moore understood how to stay friendly to the QB and would work himself into favorable positions. Moore is more of an above-average-to-good athlete. While he constantly displays his quickness, balance and body control with his route running and when adjusting for throws away from his body, he doesn’t have a true top-end gear and doesn’t truly burst out of his route breaks or with the ball in his hands after the catch. Being more on the “quicker rather than fast” side, he is able to win versus press coverage and will open up the possibilities of being able to operate on the outside even with his below-average height. |

I still remember the day he was drafted. I have never in my life been more pissed about a draft pick. I mean, i don't even really really get mad when the Chiefs take someone i don't like or wasn't expecting.
But that day....i was HEEEEAAAATED. I remember pacing my backyard, pissed off, smoking a blunt trying to relax. I think it took me like 2 hours to chill. My wife and son got it the worst, with my rants, lol. They got an earful. But even still, i thought that he'd at least be a 500 yard a season guy. I thought the Chiefs would get at least that out of him. I was wrong. |

Some kid will be a 3 star prospect then Texas and Alabama will offer him and Rivals, sight unseen, will give him a 4th star because "Hey, if UT and Bama want him, he's obviously at least a 4-star..." The Chiefs, even before the B2B, were among the most respected organizations in football. Reid was certainly viewed as at worst the 2nd best offensive coach in the game (McVay was getting pumped off a lot at the time). So we drafted him and the draft folks gave him a 4th star. Had the Cardinals taken him, I don't think you see that kind of hype fly up around him. And to be fair on my analysis of him, even I didn't think he'd be THIS bad. I thought he'd be an average NFL player with a long learning curve so I was thinking 3rd rounder or 4th round value IIRC. I didn't expect him to flat ****ing suck. Maybe just take longer than a 2nd rounder should to make an impact and ultimately be a fairly limited guy. But I did note that the small school thing meant his floor was 'out of the league before his rookie contract' and sho 'nuff, that seems awfully likely to happen. Sometimes the floor is what ya get... |

Yes that was what I heard when he came out too. Ran amazing crisp routes. Couldn't be further from the truth. Only draft WR's from real college football programs.
