For a rookie wide receiver whose quarterback was injured for the majority of the year, D.J. Moore played exceptionally well.

Let’s be honest here. Moore should not have performed as well as he did. Cam Newton’s shoulder injury prevented any opportunity for him to throw any deep balls for Moore to take advantage of. This season, he had 788 receiving yards and two touchdowns, along with 172 rushing yards. That’s an impressive year, considering all of the circumstances he faced.
