Drafting Elijah Moore was so the Jets could provide that “new face of the franchise” with assistance in the passing game.

The organization hopes for a great connection between the two offensive players for years to come, and even before rookie minicamp commenced Friday at Florham Park, the young players were portraying their excitement in a chat with one another.

“[Zach] wrote me on social media [when I got drafted] saying he was pumped, he had texted me saying how fired up he was…just talking to him on the phone, I could tell he’s a general,” Moore told the media Friday.
