Elijah Moore did not hear his name called during night one of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he did not have to wait long to hear it on Friday.
The former Ole Miss standout receiver was selected by the New York Jets as the 34th overall pick and the second pick of the second round. Moore is the eighth Rebel to be drafted since 2009 and the fifth to be picked in the first two rounds.
Moore was the Jets third pick of the draft after selecting former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick and then former Southern California guard Alijah Vera-Tucker at No.
