Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos selected Moore in the second round (45th overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft. Moore made his regular season debut on September 12, 2011 and recorded four solo tackles in the Broncos season-opening 23-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Moore recorded his first career interception in Denver's week 4 49-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers as he picked off a deflected pass from Matt Flynn.

During the 2012-13 NFL Playoffs, Moore lost favor with Broncos management and fans due to a key gaffe during the Broncos game against the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round. Denver was leading Baltimore 35-28 with less than a minute left in the game. Baltimore lined up for what was essentially a Hail Mary towards the end zone. Joe Flacco unloaded a bomb to Jacoby Jones up on the right sideline. Moore was well-positioned to make an easy play on the ball but misjudged the trajectory and fell over, as the pass was completed Jones walked into the end zone for the game-tying touchdown. Baltimore would go on to win the game 38-35 in double overtime and eventually win Super Bowl XLVII.

On March 12, 2015, Moore signed a three-year $12 million contract with the Houston Texans.[7][8]
