Cosell’s Coaching Tape: Week Fourteen 11/16/09 Notes

First impressions watching Moore: A little impatient in the pocket, not comfortably going through his progressions, bailing mentally and physically a little early; Tendency to be a little wild high, missing open receivers

  • 12-team Non-PPR mock draft review May 9, 2013
