Moore's small frame limits him as a primary back, but he has well-developed upper-body strength and excellent quickness.  This combination of small size, good strength, and speed is what intrigued Seattle enough to sign him as an UDFA following the 2009 NFL Draft. Moore failed to earn a spot on the regular season roster in Seattle, but did find his way onto the Seahawks practice squad a couple of times, until the Panthers snagged him for their practice squad near the end of the 2009 regular season.  Moore ended up with the Colts during the playoffs. Although he was omitted from the NFL Scouting Combine in 2009, Moore had the fifth best 40 time for RBs, and was viewed as a potential late-round pick.  Ultimately, Moore went undrafted because he lacked sufficient lower-body strength to make up for his lack of size when fighting through linebackers, had raw route-running skills, showed a lack of ability to recognize and pick up blitzes, and seemed to shy away from physical contact as a blocker. Still, Moore has shown ability slipping through small running lanes, utilizing his small size and quickness, which has made teams sufficiently interested to give him opportunities.  Moore's small size, quickness, and speed are a combination that have become more popular in the NFL, as running backs like Darren Sproles, Justin Forsett, and LeSean McCoy have had success. Little else is available on Moore concerning his potential in the NFL, except for some general prognostication that due to his lack of bulk -- he is roughly 15 pounds lighter than is optimal for a RB of his height -- he could get looks as a developmental slot receiver.  What Moore has in speed, he lacks in height as a receiver, but he has good enough hands, agility, and experience as a route runner to project as a potential triple-threat -- as a running back, wide receiver, and as a kick returner.
