If a factory stamped prototypical single-high defense cornerbacks from a mold, you’d get Tarvarius Moore. Despite playing safety at Southern Mississippi, his height and 33 inch arms put him on the cornerback radar. His 95th-percentile SPARQ score, a score better than draft darling Derwin James, made him an absolutely salivating prospect. While defensive backs coach Jeff Hafley thought he had a sleeper on his hands, Moore’s rare blend of athleticism made him a fast riser late in the scouting process.
Moore, a junior college transfer, only had one season of significant playing time at Southern Miss.
