Arizona Cardinals WR Rondale Moore keeps quiet on rookie frustrations and big plans for 2022


Moore sets goals, although, keeping in form, won’t specifically say what. Getting down the field more often has to be among them, however.

Moore had 54 catches for 435 yards, averaging 8.1 yards a catch. Amazingly, he averaged only 1.1 air yards per target, a nod to the many screens and throws behind the line of scrimmage of which Moore was part.
