"I would have done that anyway," he said when asked about his conversation with Hucthins and the subsequent donation. " We're doing two good things at once."Moore, who was drafted in the second round, will wear number 25 in honor of his former Missouri teammate Aaron O'Neal, who passed away in 2005.
