GAME FILM
#8 Elijah Moore VS ALABAMA (2020)

#8 Elijah Moore HIGHLIGHTS (2020)

Strengths: He is a dynamic, versatile, and electrifying slot receiver in this year's NFL draft. His explosiveness off the line puts the defensive back on their heels. He has excellent strength and reliable hands that pluck the ball from the air. He is a crafty route runner who can run away from the defender after the catch and not shy away from contact. He is a crafty receiver with great versatility from the line and backfield. He has an impressive and explosive start and stops, and to complement his excellent route running. He kills all coverages and is so impressive how he beats the press coverages. He can work back to ball after getting in and out of his breaks. His tremendous speed allows him to go and track down the deep passes. He is fearless amidst contact and can take it the distances.
​​
Weaknesses: He does not have great length and has short arms to prevent him from being an outside receiver. He will struggle against press coverages and not use his arms to break the press and will rely mainly on his twitch to get loose. He does provide quarterbacks with a vast window despite making the difficult catches. His blocking can use some polishing despite his undersized frame.

Draft Projection: 2nd Round
