J’Mon Moore claims that his worst performance at the NFL scouting combine happened because of a misunderstanding.
The former Missouri wide receiver said he did not know where the start line was for the 40-yard dash, so he ran farther than he had to, and his time of 4.6 seconds was slower than he hoped. It ranked 32nd out of 37 receivers at the combine.
“I got texts for days,” said Moore, did finish third in bench press and fourth in vertical jump for receivers at the combine. “I just messed up.”
So the 6-foot-3 Moore, who led Mizzou with more than 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons, came into the Tigers’ pro day on Thursday knowing he had to rectify that disappointing 40-yard dash time — and he did.
