SCOUTING REPORT

Moore exhibits elite ball-hawking traits, dominating in zone reads with an uncanny ability to diagnose plays early. His quick burst off the snap poses a real concern for offenses, both when he's launching off the edge or zeroing in on ball carriers in space. However, shifty route runners with swift breaks can occasionally catch him on his heels. He'll need to polish up his hand usage and jam techniques in press situations. While he's formidable in open terrain, navigating through traffic in box settings remains a challenge, more so against sophisticated blocking setups.

Primary scout:

Brandon Lundberg

PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Rod Moore's play is best characterized by his propensity for diagnosing plays in real-time, making him a quintessential fit for defenses that employ a heavy zone coverage scheme. His quick burst and open-field prowess suggest he'd mesh well within a Cover 2 or Cover 3 system, where his range and anticipatory skills can be fully exploited. When considering Moore's attributes and play tendencies, NFL comparisons come to mind: The early career of Earl Thomas, given his range and zone mastery; Adrian Amos for his balanced skill set in both run support and pass defense; and the anticipatory prowess reminiscent of a young Malcolm Jenkins. Each of these comparisons provides a glimpse into the potential ceiling Moore might achieve with the right development and scheme fit.
