Going into the NFL Combine, Shady Side Academy alum, wide receiver Skyy Moore was expected to be a third round or later draft pick.
That seemingly changed on Thursday after an impressive showing from the Western Michigan Bronco.
The 5-foot-10-inch, 195-pound 21 year old ran an unofficial 4.39 40-yard dash.
All the talk yesterday was about Kenny Pickett’s hand size (measuring 8.5 inches) but Moore measured at 10.25 inches, the biggest among receivers.
Former NFL wide receiver James Jones said Moore was so impressive he may be a first-round pick.
“He ran the best routes out of anybody on that field (at the Combine) out of both groups,” Moore said on NFL Total Access. “He was smooth in and out of his breaks, not one football hit the ground, the young fella is special.”
This past season, the sophomore had 95 catches for 1,292 yards with 10 touchdowns.
There are question marks in the once-stacked Steelers wide receiver room with JuJu Smith-Schuster a free agent and lack of development from Chase Claypool, The Steelers could use a player like Moore, but he may not be around in later rounds like the Steelers may have hoped.
