Three years after coming to Maryland as a mostly overlooked three-star prospect, wide receiver DJ Moore will leave College Park as the first Terp picked in the opening round of the NFL draft in nearly a decade.
Moore, who set a single-season school record with 80 receptions last season despite playing with five quarterbacks on a 4-8 team, was chosen by the Carolina Panthers with the No. 24 overall pick Thursday night.
Moore was the first receiver picked.
Moore, who was also named the Big Ten’s top receiver last season, is the first Maryland player to be selected in the opening round since Darrius Heyward-Bey (McDonogh) was taken No.
