DJ Moore is looking to end the year on a high note and is not wasting any time turning in highlights for the Carolina Panthers.
After another season with 1,000 yards receiving, Moore is putting the finishing touches on his 4th season in the NFL. Taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season finale, Moore also showed off his hops with a brilliant hurdle.
The move came in the first quarter with Carolina facing a 3rd-and-20. Instead of throwing it deep, the Panthers dumped it underneath and let Moore go to work.
Moore followed his blocking as far as he could and then went up-and-over a would-be tackler who had the wide receiver in sight. Remarkably, Moore converted for a first down after the big move and pickup.
