The Elijah Moore hype train continues to roll.
A week after Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin praised Moore, Kenny Yeboah spoke highly of his former college and current Jets teammate. The duo played the past season together after Yeboah transferred from Temple, and Yeboah said Moore will be a perfect fit for the culture the Jets want in New York.
“He’s going to be everything this city wants and that’s on the field and off the field,” Yeboah told the Jets’ website. “He’s one of the best players I’ve ever been around, he’s extremely talented.”
Yeboah added that he learned a lot from Moore during their brief time together in Oxford, Mississippi. The undrafted free agent tight end more than doubled his receiving yards from 2019 to 2020 with 524 but only caught eight more receptions. He also finished with six touchdowns. Yeboah’s production sat second on the team behind Moore, who caught 86 receptions for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns for the Rebels last season.
“I know he’s going to make the team better,” Yeboah said. “I know he’s going to help everybody and just be a great teammate, so I’m just excited to be here with him. I know this is going to be fun, I can’t wait. I’m so excited.”
