An NFL-high four players were claimed off waivers from the New England Patriots on Sept. 3, 2017.
Rookie wideout Austin Carr, tight end James O’Shaughnessy and sixth-round offensive tackle Conor McDermott were among them.
So was a cornerback out of Valdosta State named Kenny Moore II.
Moore became an Indianapolis Colt as rosters went to 53 apiece that weekend. And the AFCA first-team All-American, All-Gulf South Conference selection and Tropical Bowl participant would go on to become a 16-game player.
It wasn’t the expected outcome for Division-II product whose undrafted Patriots pact carried $5,000 in guarantees.
