Sterling Moore continues to thrive as Buccaneers' top cornerback

Rick Brown

TAMPA, Fla. -- When Sterling Moore signed as a free agent in March, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers envisioned him solidifying their nickel defensive coverage. Moore had success in that role during his days with the Dallas Cowboys.

But Moore has become more important than just a third-receiver stopper. Tampa Bay still plays a lot of zone but is more comfortable now playing man-to-man or press coverage, especially with Moore. The fifth-year corner out of SMU has elevated his play to become the team's top cornerback and has been holding his own against top receivers since being inserted into the starting lineup against the New York Giants five games ago.

Sterling was great. I wish the Cowboys would have kept him so we could see him play every week.

Something that jumped out to me that I hadn't realized before - Sterling started college at 17, was only 19 when he came to SMU as a JR. Pretty impressive.

I certainly hope not. Unfortunately, most NFL players [deleted] it all away and are dead broke a few years after retirement. It's a shame.
