Although his father is the great Hall of Fame wide receiver Randy Moss, don’t let Thaddeus Moss’ namesake fool you — he’s a completely different type of player than his dear old dad.
While Randy Moss was an elite all-around wide receiver with ridiculous speed, hands, physicality, and ball skills, Thaddeus Moss is a traditional in-line type of tight end with blocking skills and receiving abilities as an added bonus.
Unlike his dad, Thaddeus is a bit of a slow mover out there on the field compared to even other tight end prospects. He’s not going to be an athletic mismatch at his position like Noah Fant, but he will be opportunistic in the passing game and extremely helpful otherwise.
Moss is one of the best pass pro chippers you will see at the tight end position. The Broncos go against plenty of stud pass rushers every year, and having someone like Moss to play in-line whenever the team wants to split Noah Fant into the slot or put him out wide would be huge.
He could be a perfect pairing with Fant for the future at the position for the Broncos.
