The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Texas A&M tackle Dan Moore Jr. with the 23rd pick of the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. It was the 128th pick overall.
Moore was a three-year starter at left tackle for Texas A&M. He measured in at his Pro Day at 6055, 311 pounds, with 34 1/2″ arms and 10 1/4″ hands. He ran the 40 in 5.21 seconds, did 28 reps on the bench, and posted a vertical of 30 1/2″ and a broad jump of 9’2″.
Moore hails from Beaumont, TX. He enrolled at West Brook High School as a freshman and was a four-year football letterman, starting at left guard as a junior. Moore moved to tackle as a senior (saw reps at both tackle spots) and earned First Team All-Region and Second Team All-State honors in 2016. He also lettered in track and set a personal best with a 52’5″ shot put, which ranks top-five in school history.
Moore, who played at Texas A&M, was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2020. Moore started 10 games at left tackle in 2020 on an offensive line that was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award.
