Mewelde Moore

Moore is a RB that has a ton of potential but has had some injury problems. I would like to see the team take a chance on him.

From scout.com:

2006: Played in all 16 games as a third-down back behind Chester Taylor. Starting no games and being used primary as a receiving option, he rushed 24 times for 131 yards a 5.5 yard average and caught 46 passes for 468 yards and one touchdown, including two season-long 50 yard catches one from Brooks Bollinger vs. New England Oct. 30 and one from Tarvaris Jackson Dec. 31 vs. St. Louis. Threw one pass a 15-yard touchdown toss to Jermaine Wiggins vs. Seattle Oct. 22. Had 36 punt returns for 365 yards, including a 71-yard return for touchdown vs. New England Oct. 30. He also had one kickoff return for 25 yards.

2005: Played in all 16 games, starting eight of them. Led the Vikings in carries (155) and yards (662) while scoring one rushing TD. As a receiver, hauled in 37 passes for 399 yards and two touchdowns his 37 receptions was third on the team.

2004: Started three games in the first half of the season and was extremely productive before giving way to an ankle sprain. Set a Vikings record with 610 combined net yards in that three-game span. Ran for a season-high 138 yards on 20 carries in one of those games against Tennessee, the third-best day by a Vikings rookie. Had 12 catches against Houston, second-best in team history for a running back.

I agree. His potential is worth taking a flyer on and seeing what he can do.

I like Moore, he has tremendous upside, just leave the Wizzenator at home.

That was Onterrio Smith, not Mewelde Moore.
