Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is entering year five of his NFL career and despite being one of the most productive receivers in the league, he’s left out of the conversation when it comes to being top tier.
In each of the last three seasons, Moore the only receiver in the league with over 1,200 yards from scrimmage. Over that span of time, he ranks third in the entire NFL in yards by a wide receiver, behind only Cooper Kupp, Davante Adams, and Stefon Diggs.
Moore ranks fourth in Panthers’ franchise history with 4,313 career receiving yards, which also happens to be seventh in NFL history for players aged 24 or younger. Who are some other receivers on that list you ask? Randy Moss, Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr.
