[edit] Professional career
[edit] New York Giants
Moss was selected by the New York Giants with the 44th overall pick in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami.
The Giants expected to groom Moss to be their slot receiver in 2006 but his progress was marred by a recurring quadriceps injury, which caused him to miss training camp and limited him to five receptions during his rookie season in six games.[1] In 2007, Moss played in 13 games, but suffered a hip injury which forced him to watch the Giants Super Bowl championship from the sidelines.[1]

After two relatively unproductive seasons with the Giants that produced only 26 receptions for 230 yards and no touchdowns, Moss vowed to improve in the 2008 campaign.[1] Moss is quick to note that the addition of 2008 Giants third round pick and fellow wide receiver Mario Manningham has not changed his approach this off-season and he is happy the Giants offense will have another weapon this season.[1] However, Manningham, as well as the Giants first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, Hakeem Nicks, quickly made his way ahead of Moss on the depth chart.
Prior to the 2010 season, Domenik Hixon, who had taken the return job away from Moss during the 2009 season, tore his ACL and was placed on injured reserve. During the preseason, Moss competed for the return specialist job, but suffered from a sports hernia and on August 31, 2010 was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Moss was officially waived by the Giants on November 9, 2010 after reaching an injury settlement.[2] Primarily because of injuries, he departed New York after a five-year career that included just three touchdowns.[2]
[edit] Philadelphia Eagles
Moss was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles to a future contract on January 10, 2011. He was released on September 3 during final roster cuts.
[edit] Personal
Moss is the younger brother of Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss, who was also a standout wide receiver for the University of Miami prior to entering the NFL. Sinorice has one son, Sinorice Moss Jr.
