Raw, but good size and speed. If he can block well, he'd knock Williams off the roster.
great find Buck. Sounds like an undrafted free agent though. This years Victor Cruz?

He might go in the last two rounds.

Here is one opinion.

During the South Dakota State pro-day receiver Dale Moss certainly met, and even exceeded expectations. Moss measured 6 feet, 3.5 inches and 213 pounds, posted a vertical jump of 41.5 inches and broad jump of 10 feet, 10 inches. His forty time clocked at 4.45 seconds then Moss ran an amazingly fast three cone time of 6.32 seconds and 60 yard shuttle of 10.82 seconds. One scout at the workout mentioned in seven years of attending pro day and combine workouts Moss' three cone time was the fastest he's witnessed. Moss was then run through about a dozen pass routes and asked to catch the ball.

What makes this story so intriguing is Moss was a member of the SDSU basketball team and never played college football until 2011. In his first and only season on the football field with the Jackrabbits he led the team in receiving with 61 receptions for 949 receiving yards and six touchdowns and Moss started just nine of 11 games. His upside is enormous and Moss worked his way into the draft's final day with his performance today.

It sounds like he has a ton of raw talent, and with the right coaching could be a steel in the late rounds. Great find!

Moss has put his name in the ring. Here is more.

Wide Receiver (Alex Brown – Optimum Scouting)

An FCS player that has helped his draft stock dramatically in the past year, with both his on field performances throughout the 2011 season and his all-star week performance at the East West Shrine game, is Dale Mossfrom South Dakota State. Moss, who just a season ago was a key contributor for South Dakota State's basketball squad, has rare athleticism, elite size and upside to develop into a legitimate receiver in the NFL. His ability to climb the ladder and grab contested throws away from his body, both over the middle of the field as well as in the red-zone, showcase his outstanding coordination, body control, and hands at the point of the catch.

Padding up for the first time since high school, Moss, who utilized a fifth and final year of eligibility after four years of college hoops, hauled in more than 5 catches in every single game. He finished the year eclipsing the 100-yard receiving mark four times, averaging over 15 yards per catch over the span of 61 receptions, 949 yards and 6 touchdowns. His immediate success can be attributed to his coachability, high learning capacity and excellent work ethic. Moss is a big, long and smooth athlete that transitions well in and out of his cuts, has an innate understanding of how to position himself in order make contested catches and has quickly made himself into a very adept route runner. While there is still work to be done and he is a developmental, late-round prospect right now, the size and speed Moss possesses (6-3, 220 pounds, 4.4 40-yard dash), will make NFL teams think twice about passing on him come April 28.

Our Take: Moss was one of the more intriguing participants at the East-West Shrine Game in January, and since then his name has been buzzing in the scouting community. While it's possible he may go undrafted, there's no denying his potential to come into the NFL and have an impact if he's put with the right coach that can take advantage of his raw abilities. Moss is definitely one of the biggest sleepers in this draft, and one of my favorite prospects for the last day.

Thanks for this Buck.
Let's draft him !! That's what late round picks are for imo. Risk/reward seems pretty good
great find Buck. Sounds like an undrafted free agent though

We could use his leaping ability in the red zone. Hes pretty fast, so he could probably special teams also i would guess. he moves well on the bball court
Great post and excellent fiond - Thanks Buck.

This iss what I really love about the Zone. Many people contribute positive finds like this!

I think this guy has alot of potential he's also very quick, ran a 6.32 in the 3 cone oh and had a 41.5 inch vertical. Hes quick, fast, and explosive just raw. With the right coaching this guy could really be good.
He didn't look very fast on the football highlights. Could of been because his QB kept throwing him bad passes.

At least he'd be used to jumping an diving for Alex type errant throws.
