Rumors of the demise of Kellen Moore’s NFL career were greatly exaggerated.
As much a favorite punching bag for Dallas Cowboys fans as he is beloved by Boise State fans, Moore is perhaps one snap away from playing in a regular-season game.
The sixth-year quarterback, who went 50-3 at Boise State from 2008 to 2011, is listed as the backup to Dak Prescott on the Cowboys’ official depth chart in his third season with the team.
Moore was released by Dallas on Saturday, available to any of the 31 other NFL teams, but the Cowboys’ gamble worked.
