While Moreau was riding high off the Combine, the 23-year-old's stock dropped due to a torn pectoral suffered at his pro day just days after being in Indianapolis. Moreau eventually fell to the third round of the draft before the Redskins selected him with the No. 81-overall pick.

With the Redskins already having Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland manning the outside cornerback roles, it afford Moreau time to rehab his torn pec before serving in a reserve role during his rookie season.

Although he wasn't fully cleared to fully participate in football drills until late in training camp, Moreau eventually took on a key special teams role with spot appearances on defense.

In total, Moreau played just 59 defensive reps, recording 14 tackles and one pass defensed. However, the six-foot, 198 pounder could be in line for a significant increase in playing time for the upcoming season, especially if Breeland departs in free agency.

Redskins head coach Jay Gruden noted last week while at this year's NFL Scouting Combine that he wants to keep Moreau on the outside even though he played some in the nickel corner role in 2017.
