Each week I am going to shine a spotlight on one of this year's draft. This week the rookie I chose is Tony Moeaki.
Tony Moeaki played his college football at the University of Iowa. He played in 48 games where he caught 76 passes for 953 yards and 11 Touchdowns.
Tony was selected in the 3rd round (93rd Overall) by the Chiefs. Coming out of college, he was rated highly for both his receiving and blocking. Slowly, he is becoming one of Matt Cassel's go to guys in the passing game and a crucial blocker for the #1 running game in the NFL. So far in his rookie season he has 31 receptions for 378 yards and 2 touchdowns.
His body type and the way he plays the game reminds me of a certain All Pro Tight End by the name of Tony Gonzalez, but it is too early to tell whether he can sustain the durability and statistics like a Tony Gonzalez.
This week he has returned to practice, but it is still unsure whether or not he will be available for this weeks game against the Seattle Seahawks.
