DJ Moore is an NFL Draft first-round pick. The Maryland wide receiver was selected 24th overall Thursday night by the Carolina Panthers. He was the first wideout off the board.
The numbers might make this seem unsurprising. Moore hauled in a school-record 80 receptions in his junior season, tallying 1,033 yards and scoring eight touchdowns—all with four different quarterbacks throwing his way. He won Big Ten Receiver of the Year. At the combine in March, he ran a 4.42 40-yard dash, posted a 39.5-inch vertical and an 11-foot broad jump; all of these marks were at or toward the top of his wide receiver class.
