"Maurice is one of the most dangerous players I have ever seen o a football field. He can make plays at the highest level no matter where he lines up. We have used him in all areas and he has always delivered. He just shows up and plays, never complains and does whatever he is asked to do. Throw, catch, run, kick, defend you name it he does it and does it well. We are blessed to have Moe on board and are expecting a great season from him in 2023 "-Director of Operations Paul Pennington.
