Summary
Derrick Moore has a strong foundational understanding of setting the edge, which gives him the chance to be an every-down player. He will probably never be a high-volume sack producer, but he can be a contributor on any defense.
About
- 2025: First-team All-Big Ten
- 2025: 10.0 sacks (fourth-most in Big Ten)
Strengths
- Good length and use of the long arm to convert speed to power as a rusher.
- Good quickness to exploit oversetting offensive tackles inside or outside.
Weaknesses
- Lacks counter moves once his initial rush is stalled.
- Average-to-below-average bend at the top of his rush.
- Sets the edge well but can get hung up on blocks in the box.

Lions' Derrick Moore: Snapped up by Detroit
The Lions selected Moore in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 44th overall.
Moore spent his entire four-year college career with Michigan, and he will stay in state after being scooped up by the Lions. He was an Honorable Mention on the All-Big Ten teams in both 2023 and 2024 before breaking out in his senior year in 2025, when he posted 30 tackles, including 10.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass defenses across 12 games, en route to being selected to the All-Big Ten First-Team. Moore's steady increase in production over the course of his college career could translate to the NFL, and he has the size, athleticism and physicality to compete at the next level. His addition upgrades a Lions defensive front that is headlined by fellow former Wolverine Aidan Hutchinson.
