Kellen Moore

He led the team on a 4th quarter 78-yard touchdown scoring drive to take the lead for good and win the game 17–10.

His father Tom was the head coach at Prosser High School from 1986 to 2008, winning 21 league titles and four state championships.

Every day during football season, he and younger brother Kirby, who also played at Boise State as a wide receiver, went from the elementary school to their father’s football practice.

Kellen Christopher Moore (born July 5, 1988) is an American football coach and former quarterback who is the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL).

He played college football for the Boise State Broncos, setting the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) record for quarterback wins.

Kellen Christopher Moore was born on July 5, 1988, in Prosser, Washington.

He led Prosser to a 12–1 record in 2006 as a senior and a spot in the state semifinals, where his team lost to the Centralia Tigers and Moore threw two interceptions.

As a junior, he completed 317 of 479 passes (66.2 percent) for 4,600 yards and 66 touchdowns with 15 interceptions.

The year before as a sophomore, he completed 179 of 308 passes (58.1 percent) for 2,442 yards and 39 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.

Moore's teammates at Boise State included his younger brother Kirby and childhood friend Cory Yriarte, a center for the Broncos.

Kirby currently holds the national high school record for career touchdown receptions, with 95.

During the 2007 season, Moore was redshirted.

As a redshirt freshman in 2008, Moore led the Broncos to an undefeated regular season and the WAC championship while throwing 25 touchdowns and 9 interceptions in 12 games.

In the final game of 2008, Boise State lost to Texas Christian University (TCU) in the 2008 Poinsettia Bowl, the first of two consecutive bowl meetings for the non-Automatic Qualifying rivals.

He was named WAC Freshman of the Year and Second-team All-conference after a spectacular first season, guiding Boise State to 12–1 record and was named Boise State's Most Valuable Offensive Player by vote of teammates.

He was named to Phil Steele Publications' Second-team All-WAC and also voted to the Football Writers Association of America's freshman All-America team.

In January 2009, Moore was ranked as the 37th best returning player in college football by College Football News.

Moore threw for a school record 39 touchdowns with only 3 interceptions to lead the Broncos to a 14–0 record, another WAC title, and an at large bid to the Fiesta Bowl vs. undefeated #4 ranked TCU.

The 2009 Fiesta Bowl was highly controversial due to the decision to pit the two non-Automatic Qualifying schools against each other instead of having them face Automatic Qualifying teams.

The BCS was criticized for the perception that the risk of both, or either, team defeating a "power conference" team was too great, and that the BCS had TCU and BSU face each other so that the damage of their participation would be minimized.

He finished the 2009 regular season with the highest passer efficiency rating in Division I-A with a rating of 167.3.

In his first two years as a starting quarterback, Moore did not lose a regular season game.

Moore started against widely favored TCU and played the entire game.

He had no interceptions, fumbles, or muffed snaps.

As Kellen’s father remembered in a 2011 interview, "He'd always have a little notepad with him. He was always drawing plays."

In his final two years of high school, Moore’s father let him call his own plays.

According to his mother, Moore "grew fast, and then he didn't grow again" – he was 5ft 11in as a high school sophomore, nearly his adult height.

His lack of height proved no obstacle to success at Prosser High.

Moore was named the Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Washington.

He lettered in football and basketball three times each and was named Velocity/Prep Star All-American and First-team All-state and Division 2A MVP by the Seattle Times.

Moore earned league player of the year honors as well as First-team All-league recognition as a sophomore, junior and senior.

He was also Third-team All-state selection as a junior.

Moore set Washington state career records for completions (787) and touchdown passes (173).

He also set state single-season records for completions (317 as a junior), yards (4,600 as a junior) and touchdown passes (67 as a senior).

Moore finished his career completing 787 of 1,195 passes (.659) for 11,367 yards and 173 touchdowns with 34 interceptions.

Signed by Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2012, he played as a backup with the Lions and the Dallas Cowboys for three seasons each.

He ranked 12th in nation in passing efficiency and 24th in total offense, averaging 265.85 yards per game and was first in WAC in passing efficiency (157.1) and second in total offense (265.8) and average passing yards per game (268.2).

He completed 281 of 405 passes for 3,486 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

Moore retired from playing in 2018 and rejoined the Cowboys as a coach, serving as the team's offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2022.

He became the Chargers' offensive coordinator in 2023.
