Jets have been waiting two decades for WR prospect like Elijah Moore

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Wide receiver Elijah Moore and running back Michael Carter show up every day at 6:30 a.m. to get in extra work before practice -- an un-rookie-like routine that has impressed the New York Jets' coaches. In Moore's case, the early bird catches the pass.

A lot of passes.

The former Ole Miss star has been the standout of the Jets' offseason practices, demonstrating the skill that convinced them to draft him 34th overall. Beyond talent, Moore's "work ethic is off the charts," Jets coach Robert Saleh said.
