Moore runs a 4.48 while Jeff Owens clocks a 4.83 Aaron Wilson
University of Georgia wide receiver Michael Moore had an extremely impressive workout with an NFL scout telling National Football Post that Moore boosted his stock more than any other player at today's campus Pro Day.
Not invited to the NFL scouting combine, Moore ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 and 4.52 seconds.
He bench pressed 225 pounds 22 times, which would have ranked him first among the receivers at the combine.
He also recorded a 36 1/2 inch vertical leap and a 10-3 broad jump, which would have ranked sixth at the combine.
He also registered a 4.12 short shuttle and ran strong routes.
Moore was overshadowed at Georgia by standouts Mohamed Massaquoi and A.J. Greene, but he runs crisp routes and could be a valuable find for NFL teams. For his career, Moore registered 59 receptions for 762 yards and seven touchdowns.
Meanwhile, Georgia defensive tackle Jeff Owens, who bench pressed 225 pounds 44 times at the scouting combine, clocked a 4.83 in the 40-yard dash.
The 6-foot-1, 305-pounder is drawing interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars and has scheduled a visit with the Miami Dolphins, per a league source.
Owens' maximum bench press is 575 pounds.
He's garnering attention from 3-4 teams as a nose guard and is being evaluated as a three-technique as well as at nose guard by 4-3 teams.
Nose guard Kade Weston is also gaining a lot of interest from NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons and the New York Jets, according to a league source.
Weston is a 6-foot-5, 315-pounder with long arms. For a big man, he ran an extremely fast time in the 40-yard dash with 5.0 seconds. He drew applause from NFL scouts for his work during the defensive line drills, per a source.
Weston is drawing a lot of interest from 3-4 teams.

Good numbers for a special teams gunner, for certain. Good luck.
Michael Moore will be a valuable asset to any NFL team. His work ethic is unbelievable, Michael will do "Whatever" it takes to continually make himself "Better" and more importantly, help his team "Win". Moore will compliment big name NFL receivers, as they are double-teamed, Michael will find a way to get open (outstanding route running ability), and make the "Big-Time" receptions deep or over-the-middle (Great Hands). In my opinion, two qualities (you either are born with or truly never have) that Moore has are: 1) What he does when he's not "Directly" involved in the play. Michael always goes 100%, running the DBs away from the play, blocks hard until the whistle (rare in receivers), and will "Crack-Back-Block" downfield to create running lanes for his running backs/receivers to get that extra yardage...2) Character: Humility/Confidence...Soft Spoken/Sincere, but can be "Vocal" and a "Leader", always leads by example, never quits..."D" Coordinators and DBs "BEWARE"!!!

I actually thought he would be a better fit in an elephant role in a 3-4, but the eagles attacking D should still be a solid fit for him.
