Former Alabama Safety Malachi Moore Earns Praise from NFL Coach: Roll Call

The New York Jets may be winless thus far in the 2025 season, sitting at a miserly 0-7, but former Alabama safety and current Jets rookie Malachi Moore has made a positive impression on first-year head coach Aaron Glenn.
"He's a guy that we identified in the draft that can do a number of things," Glenn, the former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator who compared Moore to college teammate Brian Branch, said. "You see those traits... I'm proud of where he's at."
Moore played five seasons at Alabama, winning a national championship in 2020. He was a team captain last season during the first year of the Kalen DeBoer era, going on to be selected by the Jets in the fourth round of the NFL Draft this past April.
"I'm proud of where he's at. He's still an ascending player for us"
