T.J. Moore (wide receiver, Clemson<\/a>) had put together two solid years of production.\u00a0 His play was good enough for him to earn mentions in early mocks as a mid-to-late first-round pick<\/a>.\u00a0 Does the tape show this level of prospect?<\/p>\n

Strengths<\/h3>\n

Moore has good size and experience at \u201cX\u201d, \u201cZ\u201d, and occasionally in the slot.\u00a0 His size naturally gives him a large catch radius, and he accentuates this by showing the ability to make the highlight reel catch.\u00a0 Moore can turn passes thrown high and\/or behind him into catches, and he can also make one-handed catches.<\/p>\n

Moore is most effective running slant routes.\u00a0 He gets off the line without dancing and shows the ability to use his hands to keep cornerbacks off his frame.\u00a0 He also has a nice arm-over move.\u00a0 His size then presents a nice target for his quarterback.<\/p>\n

On his outside release, Moore has natural flexibility to allow him to dip his inside shoulder to help him avoid the press.<\/p>\n

There is already detail in Moore\u2019s route running, and that will improve as he enters his junior season.\u00a0 He varies his speed off the line, lulling cornerbacks into a false sense of security, before accelerating into his route.\u00a0 Moore will also fake a block, selling it well, and then run a route.\u00a0 He also has a stop-go move in his arsenal.<\/p>\n

Clemson wide receiver T.J. Moore (bottom of the screen) has nuance to his routes. The cornerback bails and then squats. Moore with the double move to separate. The finish shows off his hands – a fantastic one-handed catch!#NFLDraft<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jfW8tNHT6T<\/a><\/p>\n
