Ask him why he didn’t give football a shot until his senior year of high school, and Kenny Moore doesn’t run from his reality. “Thought I was too small,” he says curtly, hinting at the perception he’s fought since the first time he slipped on a pair of cleats.

Ask him how long it took for him to fall in love with the game, and he doesn’t give you the answer you’re expecting.
