The wide receiver position is certainly a glaring need for the New York Jets entering the 2022 offseason. After all, New York’s wide receiver unit generated only 7.1 yards per target in 2021, which ranked 25th out of the league’s 32 wide receiver units.
Without a bona fide star wide receiver on the roster, the Jets will likely be in the market to make a big splash at the position, whether it be through free agency, a trade, or the draft.
But what if the Jets already have their long-term No. 1 wide receiver?
Selected by the Jets with the 34th overall pick in the 2021 draft, rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore finished as the Jets’ leader in receiving yards (538) and receiving touchdowns (5) despite missing six games.
