Elijah Moore’s name has been bubbling during training camp as a name to watch this year. He and Zach Wilson have started to build their chemistry together and look to be a dynamic duo.

Moore was a second round draft pick, but he is already showing he can play at a first round level.

Moore had a monster final season at the University of Mississippi. In eight games, he caught 86 passes for just under 1,200 yards. Even with Jamison Crowder and Corey Davis expected to play big roles for the Jets, don’t be surprised if Moore becomes a key piece in the Jets’ offense.

WynnBET currently has Moore’s odds to win Offensive Rookie of the Year at +6600. That’s disrespectful. Players like Amari Rodgers, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Rondale Moore -- all who were taken after Elijah Moore-- are ahead of him. 

At +6600, Moore could be a nice dark horse pick to win OROY. It would take a big year considering most of the top receivers are walking in as the No. 1 option on their team. DeVonta Smith is clearly the No. 1 receiver in Philadelphia and Jaylen Waddle is the top receiver in Miami. While Ja’Marr Chase may have to fight for the spot, his rapport with Burrow gives him an edge. 

Moore and Wilson should be a fun rookie tandem to watch this season. Even at 5-foot-9, Moore can play inside and out wide and will be a versatile piece for New York.
