Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore was once a member of the New England Patriots.
During a short season in New England, which lasted about four months, Moore thought he was fed up with football because it was one of the “low points” of his life. He said he often ran head-on with his trainer, Josh Boyer, and felt like he was in the army.

“[It was] the longest four months of my life, “Moore told Tyler Dunne of the” Go Long “podcast.” I thought you were done with football. My mental capacity and my mental space? I was just exhausted.
“It was then that I really thought, ‘I probably wasn’t made for the league.’ And having that ‘You’re not good enough’ feeling is a bad feeling. You feel like you don’t belong to him, “added Moore.” I lost all my joy and passion. I didn’t even want to play football. I didn’t want to go to work anymore … I was depressed. I was trying to fight to get rid of it. “

Moore, a non-hired free agent, was part of the Patriots’ final cuts before the start of the 2017 NFL season. After being released, Moore was immediately hired by the Colts and became a full-time starter in his second season with the team.
Moore had the best season of his career in 2020 with the Colts. In 16 games, he accumulated 80 tackles in total, with 13 passes saved and four interceptions. Moore likes to play football now, but while playing for the Patriots, he didn’t like to work.
