Chris Moore Leaves UC Behind, Heads to Baltimore as Ravens Sign Former Bearcats WR
Chris Moore is joining the Baltimore Ravens after spending the last season with the Washington Commanders, according to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Moore, a former University of Cincinnati Bearcats receiver, played the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Ravens, who drafted him in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
Moore had a successful stint with the Bearcats from 2012 to 2015, catching 119 passes for 2,301 yards and scoring 26 touchdowns. He then signed with the Houston Texans in 2021 before joining the Commanders last season, where he made 11 catches for 207 receiving yards and a touchdown over 14 games.
Moore's connection to the University of Cincinnati goes beyond his playing career. His wife, Toria, grew up in Fairfield and was a co-captain of UC's dance team. This personal connection adds a local touch to Moore's move to the Ravens.
The Ravens are looking to bolster their receiving corps, and Moore's experience with the team could be an asset in their quest for a playoff spot. Moore will be joining a team that has a strong roster and a good chance of making a deep run in the playoffs.
Moore's departure from the University of Cincinnati marks the end of an era for the Bearcats. He was a key player during his time with the team, and his departure will be felt by the fans and the community.
