Who should be the New York Jets' primary slot receiver this season? FrontOffice33 | TakeFlight
, who is entering his second season as a Jet, and is essentially exclusively a boundary player. Wilson’s arrival makes Moore a clear-cut candidate to operate from the slot in three-receiver sets, although there are several moving pieces to take into consideration.
Moore aligned both outside and in the slot at Ole Miss. His dynamic receiving abilities were often on display at both spots. Moore’s agility and short-area quickness allowed him to overcome some size limitations while routinely defeating press-man coverage on the outside. Moore spent the majority of his rookie season playing outside for the Jets while the veteran Crowder manned the slot.
When analyzing the Jets’ options in the slot, we can’t completely rule out Braxton Berrios. Berrios is absolutely in the mix and serves as the biggest threat to take snaps away from Moore and/or Wilson in the slot.
