2025 NFL draft sleepers: Scouts pick under-the-radar players
As one of the top players in the winter transfer portal, Moore made the jump from UTSA to the Longhorns and will fill a key role as the team’s primary outside pass-rusher in a 4-2-5 defense.
The 6-3, 235-pound junior has excellent first-step quickness and speed around the corner. That allowed him to post 14 sacks last season after having eight in his first year as a starter in 2022. One AFC scout who covers the state of Texas compared him to 247-pound edge rusher”Moore is exactly what [the Longhorns] were missing,” the scout said. “He’s light, but we saw that work last year with Turner. Moore is a really similar guy who could rocket up boards.”
Size concerns and a jump in competition are something to watch for Moore, but his burst off the snap is special. He ranked fourth in the FBS in pressure rate last season (19.2%), just behind Tennessee’sCornerbacks who are 6-4 and had 14 pass breakups in their first year as a starter are rarely under the radar, but that’s the case for Arizona’s junior cornerback.
Davis has fantastic length and physicality, but scouts are worried he’ll never be a high-turnover guy despite tying for fourth in the FBS in pass breakups.
“He could break out, but I always worry when a guy has a lot of PBUs and no picks,” said an NFC West area scout.last year and kept checking out the right tackle. He’s going to be a good one.”
That right tackle is Savaiinaea, a 6-6, 330-pound lineman who has experience at right guard, where he looked great in 2022 as a first-year starter. His ability to make plays in space is notable, with excellent movement skills combined with great power at the point of attack. He allowed just one sack last season.
