Quote:Moore tweaked his hamstring at the combine which explained the poor 40 time. He upped his bench to 19 at his pro day (didn't re-run the 40, but posted good shuttle times).

 

Compare Moore's numbers to Sam's

 

Bench Press.... Moore 19, Sam 17

40 time... Moore 4.95, Sam 4.91

Vert Jump... Moore 35.5, Sam 25.5

Broad Jump... Moore 122.0, Sam 114.0

3 cone drill... Moore 7.05, Sam 7.80

20 yard shuttle... Moore 4.31, Sam 4.70

 

 

Moore is superior to Sam in every workout category besides the one he was injured during. Further, Moore put up extremely good numbers (top 5 at the position) in both the the vertical jump and broad jump. A 10 inch difference in vertical in absolutely huge. Combine those 10" with the 2" difference in height and 2" difference in wingspan and you are talking 14 inches of "reach".

 

 

Even further, looking at the 2014 results......

Sam finished

22nd of 28 in the 40 yard dash.

20th of 20 in the 3 cone drill (last)

22nd of 22 in the vertical jump (last)

14th of 22 in the broad jump.

21st of 22nd in the bench press.

 

Combine that rotten showing of strength/speed/athleticism with his lack of size and it's pretty amazing the guy was even drafted.
