When the New York Jets drafted Elijah Moore with the 34th overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft, every Jets fan collectively held their breath. For years, the Jets have had a curse when it came to drafting wide receivers, especially in the second round.
There hasn’t been a “successful” wide receiver drafted by the team since Quincy Enunwa. And even he had his career cut drastically short via injuries.
In fact, the Jets haven’t drafted a Pro Bowl-caliber wide receiver since Santana Moss in 2001. Moss wasn’t a Pro Bowl player until 2005.
