At the end of the 2021 season, New York Jets fans believed the team finally broke its second-round curse by drafting Elijah Moore.
Moore was the Jets’ first second-round wide receiver to post over 500 receiving yards in his rookie season since Wesley Walker did it in 1977. Between Moore and Walker, the Jets drafted seven consecutive busts at the WR position in the second round.
Instead of following in Walker’s footsteps, Moore’s production regressed in a major way in his second season.
Despite playing five more games, Moore dropped from 538 receiving yards to 446.
