DeKALB – When Martel Moore arrived at Northern Illinois, he learned quickly that if he was going to see the field, he would have to block.

Former receivers coach P.J. Fleck told Moore and the rest of the Huskies’ receiving corps that if they didn’t block, they weren’t going to get any reps during the game. After Fleck left, each position coach Moore has had – Pat Poore, Bob Cole and now Frisman Jackson, has emphasized having their receivers play physical.

Being able to block is something Moore has had in his head since he was being recruited.
