So he held his own.
On Thursday, Moore performed in T-shirt and shorts for scouts who were in town for the much bigger party for which someone who isn’t good enough at scouting to get a scouting job with an NFL team deemed Moore to be unworthy to attend.
According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com and Sirius NFL Radio, representatives from 14 teams attended the workout.
Moore ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 and 4.41 seconds. Per Brandt, the 4.41 would have been the fifth-fastest time at running back at last year’s Combine.
(That said, we haven’t seen or heard whether the times will be adjusted based on any possible differences between the surface on which Moore ran and the FieldTurf at Lucal Oil Stadium in Indy.)
Moore also jumped 35 inches vertically, 10 feet broadly, pressed 225 pounds 27 times, ran the short-shuttle in 4.22 and 4.29 seconds, and performed the three-cone drill in 7.14 seconds.
Since Moore resides in Indianapolis, he was permitted to arrange a workout there. Otherwise, he would have had to wait until the Wyoming Pro Day.

I don't understand this. He was a really productive player. He's a little small, but no smaller than a lot of other backs in the league. He'd be a great change of pace back for a team like the Giants.
