FRISCO \u2014 The Cowboys <\/a>selected Florida cornerback Devin Moore with the second of their three fourth-round picks on Saturday in the NFL draft.<\/p>\n

Moore (6-3, 198 pounds) had two interceptions and four pass breakups with 35 tackles in 2025.<\/p>\n

Moore, who was taken with pick 114, has endured injury issues at Florida. He’s missed 20 games because of a variety of health problems. He also missed the Senior Bowl to get sports hernia surgery. Moore said he’s fully healthy, yet NFL teams asked him several questions about his health.<\/p>\n

“That was kinda the main question I was getting from teams,” Moore said Saturday. “But I just had to make sure to reinstate I’m\u00a0healthy and I’m\u00a0ready to go right now and excited to get working.”<\/p>\n

It’s interesting the Cowboys would go down this path because team owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the team didn’t have time to select players who are dealing with injuries.<\/p>\n

However, on Friday night, Jones hinted that could change as the draft progressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, we think about redshirting them, and [Day 3] is the place to do it,” Jones said of injured players. “Not in the second [round], where I’ve done it before and drew back enough. It didn’t work. You can get a guy that should be selected in the first round that you can end up getting in the second [round] a lot of times. But he can disappoint because of the availability. But the fourth [round], if the right situation is there, with the right prognosis, and by the way, for a good one to be there, then it’s probably only the man upstairs really knows how it’s going to turn out.”<\/p>\n

The Cowboys conducted a formal interview with Moore at the NFL Scouting Combine and had Zoom calls.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When he played, Moore was productive. In four seasons, he had five interceptions, 14 pass breakups along with 64 tackles.<\/p>\n

Moore’s strengths might be more in zone coverage, though he said he can play in man-to-man as well.<\/p>\n

“They’re getting a physical specimen,” Moore said. “I feel like I’m long, tall and can run, and I can also pair that with my mental ability and react fast on the field also, know what’s coming and just a great person overall also.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRISCO \u2014 The Cowboys selected Florida cornerback Devin Moore with the second of their three fourth-round picks on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[26584,28,30,29,99361,99362],"class_list":["post-246462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-brief","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-tp-nfl","tag-tp-nfl-draft"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
