No offense but that is a horrible comparison. He has freak size and speed for his age and potentially the highest rated player in his class.
Not comparing anything but I think the message was important. Train for the competition. Another thing his father is reported as saying is if you notice that you have a weakness correct it. Now of course D.Moses' dad is very active in his development. And I'm saying that to say he either trained the kid or found someone with the experience to develop what ever short comings D. Moses may have.
You asked how to project a 15-16 football players ability. That kid was offered in the 7th grade. His development would be a perfect example of how to earn a D-1 P-5 scholly

Now, I do agree with what you said his dad did during his development process. Because if Mosses only relied on his size and speed without getting better eventually everyone would catch up to him size wise.

If you go back and watch their interviews his dad said the kid put I'm hell-a-man hours to learn his techniques and to develop his speed. So I don't think any of that stuff came natural. It came with hard work.
Then look at what they have been doing since he was offered. They have been traveling around to different camps competing with the top talent in the country...win, lose or draw! Since this kid was 14 years old! Yes the kid had put in some man hours. Long story short...get to work!

You're right man. Being 6'2" 215 in eighth grade came through hard work. dante your son is only 6' he obviously isn't working hard enough.

Do NOT let racial stereotypes stop you from your son's dreams! Be realistic, yes, but do not be discouraged. What if Warren Moon, Doug Williams, and so many other black QB's believed all the talk back in the day that they could not play QB? Yes, the "white WR" is viewed differently, there is no denying that, but use it as motivation to succeed, just as Moon and others did at QB.
I beleive #8 for LSU was around a 4.55 to 4.6 forty as a freshman. When he ran a consistent 4.38 at LSU camp as a sophomore it garnered some consideration. They are at an age where ALOT can happen in a year's time, but the mind has to beleive before the body can acheive!
An oh yeah.....be a gym rat! LOL.

I wasn't talking about his size of course that's natural. I said speed and technique. Go on YouTube and watch all the video's of him working on his technique and speed.
Personally I think that it's all mental but Dante have you thought about having your kid work with a trainer. That might be the small edge that he needs to drop his 40 time into the mid 4.5 - high 4.4 range. He may just need to tweak his start.
