Donte Paige-Moss (born April 11, 1991) is a Canadian football defensive end with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. He played college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels.

College career[]

He played at North Carolina. Entering the 2011 season, he was regarded as one of the top prospects for the 2012 NFL Draft by analysts.[1][2][3]

In December 2011, Moss left school early and declared for the draft. However, concerns about his character and work habits led to his non-selection in the draft.[4] Other concerns surfaced after Paige-Moss posted a series of tweets during the 2011 Independence Bowl that media members judged "inappropriate." [5]

He was listed on the training camp roster.[6] He was released couple of days later.

On October 5, 2012, Paige-Moss was signed to the Toronto Argonauts practice roster. On December 19, 2012, Paige-Moss re-signed with the Toronto Argonauts.[7][8]
