Pro Football Focus rankings believe Indianapolis Colts CB Kenny Moore II deserves a new deal.

Pro Football Focus graded Moore as the top slot cornerback in the NFL entering 2022 despite his 27th-ranked AAV.

Kenny Moore, a 2018 UDFA, has played the most slot coverage snaps. His 12 interceptions from the slot are three more than any other player over the last four seasons, and his 1.33 PFF WAR is considerably above any other slot corner over that stretch.

His instincts and processing are important for a slot corner, and he ticks the box.

[{"selector":"#anim-16d164fb-c975-4d55-96a3-f435d8ce0a2b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dcf98ab8-6824-4aaa-85e6-b233c5188ed9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(38.70968%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9f4386b8-03d0-4a63-aa8b-e89568ca8443","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-985e2297-0619-4391-97aa-b628cd40d229","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-63deg) translate3d(-85.66776%, 0px, 0) rotate(63deg)","rotate(-63deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(63deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5b56d2f-22fd-45c3-8a66-53ca49abea2c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e3112d66-b55b-4394-85cb-234eaafeff00","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.15993%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Moore's defensive influence is undeniable. In coverage and run defence, he's hard to beat. Even calling him a slot CB isn't true because he also plays outside.

Moore has missed the first two weeks of OTAs. The Colts believe Moore signed a fair contract and have no plans to alter it.

It'll be fascinating to see whether he misses required minicamp. The Colts can punish Moore if he misses mandated workouts, which may lead to a holdout.
