Official Bio
Strengths:
Adequate height and bulk --- Above average athleticism --- Has soft, reliable hands --- Great focus and concentration --- Terrific ball skills and body control --- Nice instincts and awareness --- Gets the job done as a blocker both in-line and on the move --- Tough --- Competitive and Determined --- Superb Work Ethic --- Leader --- Still has some upside.
Weaknesses:
Durability is a major concern --- Just average speed and is not very explosive --- Doesn't get a lot of separation --- Won't be a vertical threat --- Needs to refine his route running --- Not overly powerful --- Is not very elusive --- Relatively Inexperienced --- Wasn't Real Productive.
Notes:
Last name is pronounced "MO-ee-AH-kee" --- Only started 15 games for the Hawkeyes --- Named 1st Team All-Big Ten in 2009 --- Served as a team captain --- Was a very highly-touted recruit coming out of high school --- Backed up future San Diego Chargers 4th Round pick Scott Chandler in 2005 and 2006 --- Missed most of the 2007 season due to an assortment of ailments (sprained shoulder, broken wrist, dislocated elbow) and after undergoing multiple surgeries was granted a medical redshirt --- Suffered a broken foot in 2008, which ultimately required two surgeries to correct, and also dealt with hamstring, calf and concussion issues --- Missed three games in 2009 with a sprained ankle --- Not flashy but a solid all-around player with the talent to play and perhaps even compete for a starting job at the next level if he can just find a way to stay healthy --- Should at least be a quality backup and could be a steal if he can avoid the injury bug, but that's a big "If".
