#3 Rondale Moore, Purdue

While he doesn’t even come close to prototype measurements at 5’9”, 180 pounds, this little dynamite can produce big plays in all facets pretty much like nobody else in the country can. Moore is very sudden out of his breaks and just doesn’t drop the ball (92 percent catch rate on catchable passes). Purdue lets him run a lot of out-routes, drags and screens, where they know he can gain separation and make things happen after the catch.

Moore is so elusive in the open field that you would think he is glazed with butter and he has better contact balance than you would think from a 180-pound receiver. That’s probably because he routinely squats 600 pounds! You see spins, hesitation moves and foot-fakes, He forced an FBS-high 37 missed tackles and gained 892 yards after the catch in 2018, with over 2000 all-purpose yards, Moore was not always used as an every-down receiver.

However, while he started as more of a gadget player and still might be as dangerous as a return man than anything else, he is growing as a receiver and will only become more of a headache on offense.
