NFL DRAFT BIBLE - Workout Watch: Pats To Visit Wyoming
Moore is the third RB the Pats will have worked out so far, Rashad Jennings and Bernard Scott are the others.
As a Faulk fan, I'm in no hurry to see him pack it in just yet. But if the Pats feel now is a good time to find his future replacement -- than so be it.
Moore is certainly one of the draft's speediest backs -- and arguably the fastest. Straight line speed is his game, as he's a slasher not a juker. Decent enough hands as a 3rd down/change-of-pace back. Blitz p/u is an issue for all of the RB candidates.
Listed as 5095 187, with a Pro Day 4.34 40. Strong for his size with an impressive 28 bench reps. Projected as a late day two prospect, although he could move into the round four range.
Thoughts on the player? Other preferred RBs?
---He may not have been invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, but that doesn't mean teams don't know who Devin Moore is. The New England Patriots will fly out to Laramie, Wyoming to workout the running back on March 23rd.
New England was sixth in the league in rushing last season but used six running backs to get there. While the Patriots have five veterans on their roster in Sammy Morris, Kevin Faulk, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Lawrence Maroney and the recently acquired Fred Taylor—all could be short-term answer due either to age or injury. They could be viewing Moore as a long-term replacement for the 32-year old Faulk, who has 10 years of tread on his tires. Moore has the speed, quickness and hands to be an ideal third-down back at the next level.
