Damontre Lamounte Moore (born September 11, 1992) is an American football defensive end for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas A&M, where he earned All-American honors.
Early years[]
Moore was born in DeSoto, Texas. He attended Rowlett High School in Rowlett, Texas, where he played for the Rowlett Eagles high school football team. As a senior, he had 66 tackles and six quarterback sacks.
College career[]
Moore attended Texas A&M University, where he played for the Texas A&M Aggies football team from 2010 to 2012. As a backup linebacker as a freshman in 2010, he recorded 40 tackles, 5.5 quarterback sacks and an interception. As a first-year starter as a sophomore in 2011, he had 72 tackles and 8.5 sacks. As a junior in 2012, he was a consensus first-team All-American and a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection after recording 85 tackles and 12.5 sacks.[1] Over three seasons, he compiled 26.5 sacks, which ranks sixth in school history.[2]

Moore was initially projected to be a top ten draft pick at the end of the 2012 season. One of his strengths was his versatility while playing in Texas A&M. Where he played as 3-4 outside linebacker in his first two seasons and tallied a total of 14 sacks in that time span. In 2012 as the starting defensive end he exploded with 12.5 sacks. Despite his previous accomplishments, his status as a top ten pick was damaged because of his poor performance at the NFL Combine, where he had only 12 reps in the bench press (lowest among defensive linemen) and a 4.95 time in the 40-yard dash.[5] He was projected by many draft analysts to go in the late first or early second round; however, he slid down the draft board and was eventually chosen by the New York Giants in the third round, with the 81st overall pick.
New York Giants[]
Though some teams viewed Moore as a 3–4 outside linebacker, the Giants selected him as a 4–3 defensive end.[6] He saw action in 15 games during the regular season, during which time he recorded 11 tackles and 1 forced fumble. The latter occurred during a Monday Night Football game against the Vikings when Moore stripped the ball while playing kickoff coverage.[7]
Moore recorded his first career sack during his second season on September 25, 2014 against the Washington Redskins.[8]
On December 11, 2015, Moore was waived for violating team rules, reportedly due to having an altercation with fellow defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins regarding headphones.[9] The incident with Jenkins was one of several altercations Moore had with teammates during the 2015 season, according to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.[10]
Miami Dolphins[]
On December 14, 2015, Moore was claimed off waivers by the Miami Dolphins.[11] He was released by the team on May 2, 2016.[12]
Oakland Raiders[]
On May 9, 2016, Moore signed with the Oakland Raiders.[13] He was released on August 5.[14]
Seattle Seahawks[]
On November 1, 2016, Moore was signed by the Seattle Seahawks.[15] He was placed on the injured reserve list on December 20, after suffering a foot injury.[16] He made 7 tackles and half a sack, while playing in 4 games. The injury forced him to miss 3 of his last 4 contests.
Dallas Cowboys[]
On March 10, 2017, Moore was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys to play defensive end.[17] He was suspended for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, which was a situation the Cowboys were aware of before he was signed.[18] On October 24, he was released to create space to sign Mike Nugent following the groin injury to placekicker Dan Bailey.[19] He was a backup player, registering 7 tackles, 4 quarterback hurries in 3 games and was declared inactive in one contest.
Oakland Raiders[]
On December 4, 2018, Moore was signed by the Oakland Raiders.[20] Moore saw action in two games and made one tackle before he was released by the Raiders on December 24, 2018.[21]
San Diego Fleet (AAF)[]
On January 10, 2019, Moore signed with the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football.[22] He played with the team until the league folded in April. He was considered one of the top defensive players in the league, registering 22 tackles, 7 sacks and one fumble recovery.
San Francisco 49ers[]
On April 5, 2019, after operations were suspended in the AAF, Moore signed a contract with the San Francisco 49ers.[23] He was waived on May 16, 2019. He was re-signed on July 24, 2019.[24]
