| Strengths | Very instinctive in coverage. Exudes a high football IQ. Strong technique with his hips and shoulders, understands the intricate mechanics of the position. Good closing speed, has great burst once he locates the ball. Good jumper, highpoints the ball and shows great timing in making a play on it. Solid in run support, keeps his head up and shoulders square on tackles. Has shown he can run step for step with several future NFL WRs (Massaquoi, Murphy, Byrd, Julio Jones). Brings added value as a kick return man and has starting potential there too. Has played some zone coverage and thrived in it. Played some WR and looked surprisingly good at it.

| Weaknesses | Lacks ideal height and strength. Doesn’t have the physique of most of the guys listed here. Can get caught staring into the backfield too long. Doesn’t always close hard on run plays, prefers to be the 2nd guy in and finish the job. More physical receivers were able to get separation on Moore, particularly across the middle. Needs to shorten his memory; when beaten on a play he is hard on himself and it has impacted subsequent plays (see: Georgia and Kentucky games).
