Skyy Moore details rookie learning curve in new video series
By Matt Conner
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore launched a new video series, Before Your Eyes.
If you wondered why we didn’t see a lot of Skyy Moore during his rookie campaign, really at any point, you’re not alone. As it turns out, the Kansas City Chiefs first-year wide receiver was wondering the same thing along the way. He details his thought process, his growth curve, and his current mentality in a brand new docu-series on YouTube.
Before Your Eyes is the new series from Moore that chronicles his first season in the National Football League. The first episode just dropped and shows Moore performing menial tasks, working out, and meeting fans in public. It also talks honestly about the process of being a rookie on a deep team.
“When you come in as a rookie, you get drafted in the second round, you wanna be the best you can be. You wanna be rookie of the year, get all the accolades and all of the accomplishments and all of the recognition. That’s just not how it went for me this year. I came to a Super Bowl team,” said Moore.
“I had to learn the way Kansas City did things, and they didn’t really need me to just jump out there and be the guy. ”
It was interesting to hear Moore discuss very openly the idea of having his own solo dreams crushed for the sake of something bigger and that “tearing down” process is something he ended up admitting he needed.
“I feel like I needed that. Ain’t nobody above the process to be a Chief for real. That’s why we are where we are.”
Moore does admit he’s ready for next year and that he’s as confident as ever. He should be. The Chiefs are going to need him to step up in the wake of free agent losses this offseason and his redemption as a punt returner in the postseason along with some key plays down the stretch showed how valuable he can be to this team in multiple ways.
