Breaking a tackle in the MAC just isn't the same thing as doing it with NFL caliber speed/strength chasing you. And Moore sure looks maxed out physically so the guy's he's going against will be stronger and more athletic while he'll be the same guy.
Again, if I'm taking someone from a mid-major, what possible reason would I have to take Moore over even Jalen Tolbert who's bigger, more athletic and was more productive against the same level of competition?
I just cannot for the life of me understand what makes this guy stand out. Why would we EVER take him ahead of someone like Metchie who was dominant against the highest levels of competition over a couple of seasons? And yet Metchie is suddenly an afterthought while Moore is getting first round buzz?
I'm just not buying it.

I keep referencing that because it’s a relevant statistic for a guy his size.
Again, it tells me he can play probably play through contact. That’s the biggest takeaway, not that he’s going to be breaking tackles at that rate at the NFL level.
I don’t love the guy, not even at 50, but I think many of you are being way too harsh. Agree to disagree though.
