49ers 2018 training camp: Why Tarvarius Moore is a player to watch

The San Francisco 49ers are about to enter training camp, and an area of interest is the Niner secondary. An intriguing piece to this puzzle is rookie defensive back Tarvarius Moore.

Drafted in the third round in 2018, Moore played free safety at the University of Southern Mississippi, but 49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco reported he will be used as a cornerback:

Tarvarius Moore is most comfortable playing free safety, but the #49ers are also interested in giving him a look at cornerback, he said.

Moore had an astronomic rise before the draft, rising from a likely undrafted free agent all the way to the third round.
