Jaylon Moore 2021 NFL Draft Profile<\/h2>\n

Jaylon Moore came to Western Michigan as a two-star tight end recruit out of Consortium College Prep in Detroit, MI. He was sought after for his exceptional blocking ability and athleticism. He arrived on campus weighing around 260 pounds, and he loved to block so the coaching staff felt it would be better for both Moore and the team that he switch to offensive tackle. This was naturally a great decision, as he started 32 career games for the Broncos over the next four years.<\/p>\n

Moore is an exceptional player when he plays with good technique. He does a great job of keeping his feet moving while engaged with a defender and makes good use of blocking angles in order to create leverage in the run game. If he has a hard time moving a defender off the line of scrimmage (which is a rarity), he has the wherewithal to use his strength and hips to turn the defender away from the ball and seal them off. He\u2019s explosive out of his sets, and shows good football IQ when recognizing defensive line stunts and blitzes.<\/p>\n

Though he shows NFL traits, there are a few things that he definitely needs to work on in order to become a successful professional offensive lineman. He usually does a good job of being a knee bender, but too often he will either raise up and play a bit too high, or he will him bend at the hips. This limits his ability to get consistent leverage on defenders. He\u2019s adequate enough when getting to second level blocks but he doesn\u2019t seem to take an efficient path to linebackers from time to time. He needs to do a better job of flowing to moving defenders and consistently show cut-off ability as well.<\/p>\n
