The NFL’s upper echelon has a Richmond look.

A pair of Richmond natives went head-to-head Christmas night in what was among the season’s most viewed games with 27.2 million TV viewers.

Don’t be surprised if there’s a Super Bowl rematch with an 804 sidebar.

Offensive tackle Morgan Moses of the Baltimore Ravens and Clelin Ferrell, a San Francisco 49ers defensive end, both played in the Ravens’ 33-19 victory.

Moses is the son of Marion and Morris Moses with Morris being a former John Marshall High football lineman.

Ferrell is the son of the late Cleavester and Faye Ferrell. Cleavester was a master sergeant in the U.S. Army and died in 2012.

Moses, 32, played at Meadowbrook High, Fork Union Military, and the University of Virginia. He was Washington’s third-round selection in the 2013 NFL draft.

Ferrell, 26, starred at Benedictine College Prep and Clemson University, where he was a consensus All-American while helping the Tigers to two College Football Playoff titles.

Ferrell was the first-round pick (fourth overall) by the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders in 2019.

Football finesse

Both Ferrell and Moses are products of the Chesterfield Quarterback League. Each athlete is an NFL journeymen.

Moses played with Washington from 2014 to 2020 and the New York Jets in 2021 before signing a three-year contract with Baltimore in 2022 for $15 million.

Ferrell suited up for the Raiders from 2019 to 2022 before inking a 49ers one-year contract.

Moses plays right tackle for the Ravens and is a primary bodyguard for quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is a strong MVP candidate. He’s in on almost every play.

Moses has been ranked as high as the 18th best offensive tackle by Pro Football Focus.

Ferrell’s career didn’t take off like many hoped with the Raiders. Still, he has 129 career tackles with 12.5 sacks, including 14 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble this season.

In the showdown against Baltimore, Ferrell had one tackle, but several times put some heat on Jackson. Ferrell rotates at end with All-Pro Nick Bosa, former Commander Chase Young and Drake Jackson.

Moses and Ferrell didn’t line up straight across from each other on Christmas night, but they certainly bumped pads a few times.

Standing tall

These men need to get all their clothes at the Big & Tall stores.

At the NFL Combine following his senior season at U.Va., Moses’ measurements were 6-foot-6 and 314 pounds. He did an 8-foot-11 standing broad jump and ran a 5.2 40-yard dash, not bad for a man toting three bills plus. Ferrell, listed at 6-foot-4 and 265 pounds, passed up his senior season at Clemson to enter the NFL.

Ferrell wears red and gold jersey No. 94 for Frisco while Moses dons purple, black and gold No. 78 for the Ravens.

The Ravens and 49ers compete in the NFL’s super heavyweight division. Baltimore’s 12-3 mark is tops in the AFC. San Francisco, at 11-4, is among the NFC leaders.

The Super Bowl will be Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. That’s far away, but Richmonders might be in the mix.
