Scouting Snapshot
-
Athleticism: Clocked a 4.41-second 40-yard dash—90th percentile among receivers. Good vertical burst and catch radius; however, needs improvement with separation and physical press coverage.
-
Advanced Metrics:
-
2024: 0 receptions on limited targets
-
2023: 21 catches on 38 targets for 244 yards, 1 TD
-

-
-
Fan Sentiment: A fan on r/KansasCityChiefs criticized his performance—stating his passer rating when targeted by Patrick Mahomes ranked among the worst, even compared to other non-receivers:
“Skyy Moore, statistically, is Patrick's second worst targeted player in his career…”
Trade to the 49ers
News Highlights (August 2025):
-
The San Francisco 49ers acquired Skyy Moore from the Chiefs in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, with the Chiefs also receiving San Francisco’s 2027 seventh-round pick.
-
49ers need depth at receiver due to injuries (Aiyuk, Watkins, Cowing) and pending suspensions (Demarcus Robinson). They're hoping Moore brings upside both as a receiver and in special teams.
-
Moore enters a contract year and is valued for his low cost (under $2M), ideal for a "gadget" role.
Summary & Outlook
-
Chiefs Tenure: A promising start with postseason heroics, but ultimately marred by injuries and underutilization.
-
Pros: Demonstrated big-play ability; elite athletic traits.
-
Cons: Limited production, health concerns, and struggles in route running and separation.
-
New Opportunity: With the 49ers, Moore could carve out a role on offense or special teams if he stays healthy and adapts to Kyle Shanahan’s scheme.
