Rondale Moore is a bit undersized, but he can make some amazing plays with the ball in his hands. He’s so hard to tackle due to his size and elusiveness. Even if you hit him, he has the balance to stay on his feet and get upfield for a few more yards.

Many of us were introduced to Rondale Moore when Purdue upset Ohio State in the regular season last year, but Moore was balling the entire year. As a freshman, Moore had 12 touchdowns and 1,258 receiving yards on 114 catches. He’s a cheat code.

Moore also can make some plays in special teams when given the chance. If he gets a couple of touchdowns on punt returns, he might make it to New York in December.

One concern for Moore will be the quarterback position. Moore was able to rely on David Blough last year, but he was a senior. Blough’s backup last year was Elijah Sindelar, so it will be very important for the two to have chemistry early on this season.

Even if Sindelar isn’t as good as Blough, most of Moore’s plays start with short passes. He has the ability to make a 5-yard catch into a 40-yard touchdown. As long as Sindelar can get him the ball with space in front of him, Rondale Moore can take care of the rest.
