Immaturity his undoing with New York Giants

There were maturity concerns when the Giants drafted Moore, then a 20-year-old kid, in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Moore performed poorly at the combine, though, and questions about his maturity dogged him as his draft stock dropped.

Scouts told WalterFootball.com Moore is extremely immature and they believe he will indulge in the party scene that comes with being an NFL player.

Someone was going to believe he wasn’t a bad kid, that he would mature as he got into an NFL locker room, got around veteran NFL players and saw what it took to succeed as a pro football player.

Ultimately, though, the fault for Moore being an ex-Giant is his own, The maturity red flags he came to the NFL with proved accurate.

Moore also admitted that this wasn’t the first time he had run afoul of the Giants.

Certainly, Moore will get another chance in the NFL.

Certainly, if Moore succeeds elsewhere there will be many who will blame the Giants for mis-handling him.

Truth is, if Moore does succeed elsewhere if will be at least in part because he finally figured out that the Giants were right the past three years in trying to get him to be more serious about his job, to learn his craft, to study, to realize that how you approach your job the rest of the week matters as much if not more than playing hard on Sunday.

If he ever does learn the lessons the Giants tried to teach him, Moore could still be an outstanding player.
