Chicago, DJ Moore.

The former MAryland receiver found his way to Chicago thanks to the Bears trading the No. 1 pick to Carolina prior to the 2023 NFL Draft. Moore and several picks were sent to Chicago for the pick that eventually turned into Bryce Young.

And Moore is making the most of his time in Chicago thus far. He took his first reception in a Bears uniform to the house at the Bears’ first preseason game of the year Saturday.

Check it out below:

Moore is primed for his time in the spotlight in Chicago. The Bears’ passing game was dreadful in 2022, though quarterback Justin Fields was working with very few weapons. Moore is expected to change that.

Across his 5-year career in the NFL Moore has totaled 5,201 yards with 21 receiving touchdowns. He totaled 7 of those 21 touchdowns last season alone.
