The New Orleans Saints added another player to their defensive backfield with the selection of Boston College cornerback Kamrin Moore in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Moore, selected 189th overall and with the 15th pick in the round, was a three-year starter at cornerback. He started all 10 games he played as a senior before a shoulder injury ended his season.

"I'm good now," said Moore, who returned to Indianapolis after the NFL Scouting Combine for a medical re-check and was cleared by the team doctors there.

A tibia fracture shortened his 2015 season to eight games.

The 5-foot-11, 203-pound Moore said he had "a great interview" with the Saints at the Senior Bowl and the team worked him out after the Boston College Pro Day. Moore said he played inside and outside corner in college and he can also play free safety.



His quickest way on the field for the Saints could be on special teams. Moore said he played on four special teams units all through college: "That's how I got on the field as a freshman," he added.

He comes to the Saints with some familiarity of their defensive backfield. He said he has watched "all-22" coaches film of Saints 2017 first-round draft pick Marshon Lattimore "because I like the way he plays the game."

He also knows Saints cornerback Ken Crawley through communication on social media, as both hail from the Washington D.C. area.

Moore thought before the draft he could go anywhere between the third and seventh rounds, so to finally be selected was a relief.

"I'm just eager to play football at this point," he said.

He said the Saints "like my versatility, my football IQ and my toughness; my ability to tackle in space."
