Moreland was part of the South squad coached by Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers coaching staff at the Senior Bowl in January. He recorded three tackles and a tackle for loss at the Senior Bowl and registered a tackle, pass breakup, and a 61-yard return on a missed field goal at the Shrine Game.
Moreland racked up 208 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 63 passes defensed over his four seasons with James Madison and left as the all-time leader in interceptions with 18, six of which were returned for touchdowns.
During his senior year, the 5-foot-11 cornerback registered 56 tackles, 7.5 for a loss, and five interceptions while returning three for scores.
Our own Matthew Barr spoke with Moreland in January and asked him about the 49ers coaching staff at the Senior Bowl.
"I think they did a very good job preparing us, getting us ready for the game and the NFL experience," Moreland said. "They always tell us every day, 'Be a pro.' So, we are pros now. Our college days are over, and we've got to act professionally around everything we do."
