Dante Moore's NFL Draft Stock Soars After Bowl Game
25 Dec
Summary
- Dante Moore recorded 313 yards and four touchdowns against James Madison.
- His performance included 246 yards on passes of 15+ yards.
- Analysts like Louis Riddick and Victor Cruz praise his leadership and talent.
Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore has seen his NFL Draft projections significantly rise after a standout game against the James Madison Dukes in the College Football Playoff first round. Moore completed 70 percent of his passes for 313 yards and four touchdowns, with a notable 246 yards coming from passes of 15 yards or more. This performance has fueled discussions about his potential departure from the Ducks to enter the upcoming NFL Draft.
Several prominent football analysts have weighed in on Moore's burgeoning draft stock. ESPN's Louis Riddick lauded Moore's leadership and football IQ, while TNT commentator Victor Cruz compared him to Trey Lance and acknowledged his potential as the No. 1 quarterback prospect. The Athletic's Dane Brugler noted a shift in scout feedback, influenced partly by the departure of offensive coordinator Will Stein.
Moore's future intentions remain undecided as of December 15th. Despite being projected as a top overall pick, the possibility of him returning to Oregon for another year, potentially foregoing significant earnings, is still present. The departure of offensive coordinator Will Stein also introduces uncertainty, suggesting Moore would face a new collaborator if he chooses to stay with the Ducks.
