He's got a good build, great speed, very tough and creates plays after the catch and he'll mix it up with defenders in the run blocking department. He played against better competition and there's a bit of a connection there already between him and McCardell. It's a perfect fit.
D.J Moore kind of reminds me of Steve Smith with his frame. Short, stout and not afraid to get physical. I am not saying he'll go onto be a 1,000+ catch / 14,000+ yard type of receiver in the NFL but just his style of play seems to be a nice fit for our offense. Short plays, RAC ability, deep ball ability and a good run blocker. Just seems to me that we would get more value there with Moore at 29 in comparison with Sutton's style of play.
If I saw Steve Smith's ability to get deep...his vertical explosiveness...I'd be open to Moore.
But in the stuff I've seen, I haven't seen that in Moore.
Similar build? Yes. But to me he's more an underneath guy.
