Evan James Moore (born January 3, 1985, in Brea, California) is an American football Tight end for the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. He was signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2008. He played college football and college basketball at Stanford.

Early years

Moore attended Brea Olinda High School in Orange County, California and was an All-American in both football and basketball. He led his basketball team with 24.5 points per game and his football team with 13 touchdowns his senior year. He was named the "Orange County Athlete of the Year" for his performance in the athletic arena.^{[citation needed]} Other notable recipients of this award include Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta Falcons) and DeShaun Foster (Carolina Panthers). His high school career propelled him into a position to play both football and basketball on a full scholarship at Stanford University. He chose Stanford over USC and UCLA.

College career

At Stanford, Moore was the starting wide receiver for Stanford. He had a solid sophomore season, leading his team in touchdown receptions. The following year (his junior season) he suffered a serious injury, a dislocated hip, which sidelined him for the entire season. He was able to receive a medical redshirt for his junior season. Unfortunately, the year after that he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot, which sidelined him for several games of that season as well. At Stanford, Moore graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science (with a concentration in pre-law) and a Master's degree in Sociology (with a concentration in Business and Organizational Behavior).

Moore also played basketball for two years at Stanford University.

Professional career

Green Bay Packers

After an injury-filled college career, Moore was viewed as a medical risk and went undrafted in the 2008 NFL Draft. On May 22, 2008 Moore signed with the Green Bay Packers. He was placed on the injured reserve list on August 20 after sustaining a knee injury in a preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers.

On September 7, 2009, Moore reached an injury settlement and was released after being placed on the injured reserve list for a broken hand.^{[citation needed]}

Cleveland Browns

Moore was signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad on November 9, 2009 once he recovered from a broken hand suffered in training camp with the Green Bay Packers. He was promoted to the active roster December 5. In Moore's NFL debut against the San Diego Chargers, he caught 6 passes for 80 yards and was the team's leading receiver on the day. After playing in only 5 regular season games with the Cleveland Browns in 2009, Moore led all tight ends in receptions and yards on the season and was among the team's top receiving targets.^{[citation needed]}
