DonTrell Moore - What Happened? (1 Viewer)

[Man in the yellow hat]

I know the guy doesn't have that blow them away impact, but he appeared to be a pretty solid all around prospect. Am I missing something with this guy that caused him not to be drafted? Or is it the injury that really derailed his NFL potential? Trying to piece this one together. I haven't see him play much, but he always seemed like a good all around running back.

I saw him ranked as high at RB12 prior to the draft.

Dontrell Moore, New Mexico (5-9¾, 210; 4.63)

Moore had a complete workout at the Combine. He ran for over 6,000 yards in high school, including 2,600 yards and 33 TDs as a senior. He was also an all-state cornerback and all-around athlete. He ran for 4,973 yards in four years at New Mexico. He's a solid player that lacks great speed. He can do everything and is a lot like Eagles RB Brian Westbrook, but not as fast.

I see now that Moore signed a UDFA deal with the Jets. That is a good fit for him, though I'm still surprised his name wasn't called.

Former Lobo wide receiver Hank Baskett and tailback DonTrell Moore are two notable UNM players who did not get selected in the 2006 draft. However, Moore signed a free-agent contract with the New York Jets.

Lack of ideal size/speed + questionable competition + injury prone career + lots of mileage = non-drafted RB, but definitely worth a look for some NFL team

This is a good question. Everyone should be watching for the UFA rooks heading to camps.

i reaaly think D'arious Howard surpassed Moore with his post season game work, still surprised these guys didn't get snatched up in the last rounds

 

[Jackal]

He was released. Jets homers with insight here?

I'm not sure what happened with Moore. I know he had a knee last year.... but no reporter has said why he got cut as of yet.

Thanks for the update. Glad I didn't waste a rookie pick on him even though I like the way he runs.
