VALDOSTA, Ga. - One of the most decorated players in Blazers football history is back in the National Football League. Kenny Moore II signed a one year, 3-million-dollar contract with the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad.

In the 2018 season he earned a starting spot on the Colts. Later, in 2021 he earned Pro Bowl honors and was nominated for the Walter Peyton Man of the Year, which he also received nominations for during the 2024 and 2025 NFL seasons.

While he played for the Blazers, Moore II was given AFCA All-America honors in 2016, becoming the 13th Blazer to do so, while earning first team all-league honors and USA Today Second Team All-America accolades during his first three seasons.
