2021 WR ROOKIE CLASS

"Elijah Moore's good but his ceiling is tapped because he is just a slot receiver"

Debunking that myth right now...

@TheUndroppables

I love writing about @e_moore03 and finding out so many people have him wrong!

YA WANT MOORE? YA GOT IT!

(a thread)
Percentage of Targets 20 yards or Moore...

only 31 WRs in NCAAF in 2020 had 19 deep targets or moore.

Elijah Moore was one of the 31 WRs.
out of those 31 WRs...

Elijah was ranked 3rd in reception percentage with 57.9%

First in this 2021 draft class🔥🏁
It is true he was only targeted 18.8% deep which is lower than many.

But he was ahead of:

Amon-Ra St. Brown 17.5%
Marlon Williams 16.3%
Dazz Newsome 15.9%
Amari Rodgers 12.1%
Terrace Marshall Jr. 11.9%👇👀
Kadarius Toney 10.7%
Rashod Bateman 9.1%👇
Shi Smith 7.1%
Rondale Moore 2.3%👀

MOORE...WAY MOORE THAN MOORE...
His overall deep balls stats:

19 targets

11 receptions

490 yards (4th - behind Devonta Smith, Dyami Brown👇 and Jonathan Adams Jr.)

4 TDs - tied with Brown; behind Adams (5), Smith (8)
in fact in terms of yards...

Devonta Smith 589/13 games = 45.3 yards/g

Dyami Brown 543/11 games = 49.4 yards/g

Jonathan Adams Jr👇 498/10 games = 49.8 yards/g

MOORE 490/8 games = 61.3 yards/g
Elijah Moore was the best deep ball threat in this class in 2020 period...

Pretty damn good for a slot receiver with a low ceiling.
