BOONE, N.C. — Jalin Moore overcame difficult odds in going from a low-profile reserve to a record-setting running back at Appalachian State.
A serious leg injury cut short his senior year, but that was just another obstacle for Moore to clear in his pursuit of a professional football career.
The 2019 NFL Draft concludes this weekend, and the 5-foot-10, 212-pound Moore is a candidate to be selected by one of 32 NFL franchises. Earlier this month, 28 representatives from 23 NFL teams attended App State's Pro Day in Boone, where Moore worked out alongside fellow pro prospects Clifton Duck (early entry cornerback), Austin Exford (safety), MyQuon Stout (defensive tackle), Tae Hayes (cornerback), Elias McMurry (long snapper), Dominique Heath (receiver) and Anthony Flory (linebacker).
