Isn't any point of view a projection at this point, good or bad? All draft picks are all hype (see, Darnold, Sam). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is that I would like to at least see him play before I will totally buy in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid (within your SEC Conference) just broke the All-Time single season Ole' Miss Receiving record for most receptions during a single season. And what's nuts is how he did it throughout only 8 games of play too. That's insane. This kid is more than just hype my dude he's the real deal Elijah Holyfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are you a good man but you're on my (Elijah Moore) good list. You're (home plate) SAFE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, those expecting gaudy numbers from him should keep in mind that the Jets probably won’t be throwing the ball 30 times a game, and the system generally spreads the ball around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you mean Evander. Elijah has not gotten into an NFL game yet. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It seems like he hasn't missed a catch in practice yet so I can't see any good argument as to why he's being over-hyped. Make every play in practice and of course people will believe you're going to be special. You practice the way you play and play the way you practice. Those who are seeing him practice are hyping him exactly as he should be hyped. Those who haven't seen him are under-hyping him. No one is over-hyping him. He's excelling at the task at hand. What more can anyone ask of the kid? I'm sure he's well aware it will be a very different set of challenges on gameday, Week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Moore is definitely hyped up right now, but justifiably so. It is very difficult for a rookie to come in and not only show that he belongs but lead the charge right out of the gate. We obviously need to see it translate to real games. All Moore has ever done is produce. I don't expect that to stop in the NFL. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It benefits Zach alot that the most talked about player in camp is not the the qb number 2 pick in the draft. Its actually crazy if you think about it. But Elijah Moore has over taken Zach as the most talked about and exciting rookie on this roster. Elijah is taking alot of the spotlight off of Wilson. And that is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdels62 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The beat writers have never hyped a rookie or any player on the team like this. This is novel and interesting from a fan perspective. It might amount to nothing but Zach and Elijah Moore have changed the narrative around training camp performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I didn't vote, because I'm not a Jets fan. But, from what little we've seen of Elijah Moore, he sure looks like the real deal to me. The small sample of Wilson to Moore that have been shown in TC don't look like two rookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
