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."
