Devin

Moore

We were surprised to learn Moore was on Detroit’s roster. The 2009 undrafted free agent hasn’t appeared in a game since 2010. The return specialist is almost certainly at the end of the line.

Similar to current Seahawks third-down prospect Justin Forsett, Moore could develop into an asset on passing downs. Moore is much faster than Forsett and should have the upper hand if a roster spot comes down to pure talent.

They believe that former Raider Louis Rankin has more potential.

Undrafted out of Wyoming, Moore has drawn comparisons to Seahawks RB Justin Forsett. He spent time on the Colts practice squad during the 2009 season.

The late-round prospect measured 5'9 1/2 and 190 pounds. He also posted a 35-inch vertical and a 10-foot long jump. His three-cone drills were timed at 4.22 and 4.29. Moore has a chance to be a third-down back in the pros.

It looks like Devin Moore has beaten them both out for the kickoff specialist job. James was a star returner at Florida for four seasons, but Moore’s numbers were superior in limited exhibition action. Giguere’s best bet is to return to Canada to carve out a long career in the CFL.

Moore sustained a brachial plexus injury in Week 4. The brachial plexus is a collection of nerve fibers running from the neck through the armpit region and into the arm. The Colts have signed WR Kenny Moore as an option on kickoff returns. Devin is no lock to return next season.

James not only fumbled, but the Packers also recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown. Ray Fisher returned one kickoff for 58 yards, likely earning a more extensive look next week. Devin Moore had taken the early lead in the race for both kickoffs and punts, but he was held out of the game with an undisclosed injury.

The Colts have kept their plans under wraps all camp, even hinting that Anthony Gonzalez would be the man on punt returns. Powers brought back two punts and was solid, returning one for 13 yards and fair catching another. Devin Moore was the kick returner.

Moore is competing with Ray Fisher, Brandon James, and Sam Giguere for the Colts’ return man job. So far in the preseason, Moore has averaged 32.3 yards on four kickoff returns. Moore has been seeing some time at RB and has excelled there as well, giving us reason to believe he’s the frontrunner of the group.
