Panthers receiver D.J. Moore could be Baker Mayfield’s new best friend

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.

That’s some good company.

Why isn’t Moore considered a top receiver in the NFL?

There are two main reasons for that.

Horrible quarterback play, and his team’s overall lack of production. But here at Touchdown Wire, we like to use both statistics and film to tell stories. So, let’s dive into the All-22 and see why Moore should be in the conversation when it comes to the league’s top pass catchers.
