Slot receiver with adequate size who finds ways to get open thanks to tempo variance over route acumen. Moreno-Cropper's ball skills shine when he's elevating and making adjustments mid-flight, but he struggles when attempting to play through contact and make contested catches. His versatility to throw, run jet sweeps and operate outside of the norm for his position could be intriguing for creative play-callers and teams looking to add competition at receiver on Day 3.



One of the top local recruits to come to Fresno State, he went 37 straight games recording a catch, 2nd longest streak in FS history. The top receiver on the 2022 Mountain West champion Bulldogs, Moreno-Cropper became the first FS WR to record a 1,000 yard receiving season since KeeSean Johnson in 2018. Johnson was also the last FS WR taken in the NFL Draft when he was picked in the 6th round by the Arizona Cardinals.

Thursday morning Moreno-Cropper spoke to kids at his former school Brletic Elementary in Parlier.



"Obviously, being able to show them (the kids) that any type of dream that you have...it's never too big or too little to not achieve it," he told Action News.

Rounds 2-3 of the NFL Draft will begin at 4:00 Friday on ABC30.
