Oftentimes, football players have labels attached to them due to stigmas that surround their physical traits.
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore is 5-foot-10 and 178 pounds. He is lighter than 90.3% of the other 238 wide receivers who have appeared in an NFL game this season.
Clearly, the tiny Moore is a pure slot receiver and “gadget guy”. Right?
No.
Moore is one of the hottest wide receivers in the NFL (he ranks fourth-best at his position with an average of 2.92 yards per route run from Weeks 8-11), and throughout his hot streak, he has proven that he is at his best when lined up on the outside.
