Did Elijah Moore just run himself into the 1st-round conversation?

Every NFL team is looking for the kind of speed and explosiveness that makes pass-catchers like Tyreek Hill such dangerous weapons, and the 2021 draft class might just have that kind of prospect in Elijah Moore.

The Ole Miss product lit up his pro day, as expected, running a blazing 40-yard dash, and showing off his overall athleticism throughout the entire workout.

While the top of this year’s wide receiver class appears to be a clear-cut, three-horse race between LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase and Alabama’s tandem of Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, Moore could be gunning for that No. 4 spot after putting up these numbers.

Minnesota’s Rashod Bateman, Florida’s Kadarius Toney and LSU’s Terrace Marshall Jr. could all have something to say about that, but don’t be surprised if Moore ends up coming off the board in the first round.
