Thadeus Moss tidbit

Thaddeus Moss, TE, LSU
Signed with: Washington
Randy’s son went undrafted, despite his tremendous bloodlines and a spot on the reigning national champions. Moss had little pre-2019 impact in a college career that went from NC State to LSU with a medical redshirt in between, but his final season (47 catches, 570 yards, four TDs) was promising enough that he was expected to hear his name called this weekend.
Then he languished all the way to the free-agent pile. While he lacks the length (6’2) and athleticism that made his father a star, he can handle himself as a blocker and spring free for big gains downfield. He moves smoothly but not explosively — though when the rubber meets the road, he’s been able to create the separation needed to be a viable target downfield.
Moss was unable to work out at the combine after his medical exams revealed he had a fractured foot, which might’ve hurt his draft stock. If he’s healthy, he could be a coup for a Washington team without a No. 1 tight end.

Hope he gets healthy and makes it. Guy was a monster down the stretch for us.

If he can stay healthy, I think he can have a productive career. Good hands and he will have drive to succeed.

His height is probably going to be a problem. 6’1 or 6’2 seems pretty short for an NFL TE. He may kill it out there but I’m sure his height was a big deterrent a long with his injured foot.

Was wondering what the deal was because Thad Moss is a beast and potential freak. People peak at different times. God bless that dude. He’s another great Tiger.

I think he was always destined for a number 2 or 3 tight end
Being in this lsu offense helped him tremendously
Don't get me wrong I think he will have a nice career.
He can block and catches everything
Keeps his head down and is smart
We will look up in 5 years and he will still be in the league

His number one asset has nothing to do with his speed or size. They dude just knows football and how to get open. He can find the open spot on the field and reads his QB well, especially when the QB is running for his life. He's not scared of the big stage either. He just a baller.

I think he makes Washington's team because as the article stated they really don't have a No. 1 TE. So, I say he makes them easily.

Yep, you're right about that, he does know how to go and find an open spot on the field when the QB is in trouble. I watched him do that a few times when Burrow was looking for someone while scrambling, he does that well.

Aaron Hernandez was listed at 6'2 and 6'1. He was a great compliment to Gronk, when he played. Moss is a good, willing blocker. I think that will buy him some time. The Skins don't have a starting TE yet. But they have brought in a ton of guys to try out, including some FAs. It's going to hard for Moss to beat out everybody. I hope they can put him on the practice squad or IR and develop him for a year..
