Although he was still relatively raw coming into the NFL four years ago, Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore had himself a trump card from day one. And that was for his elite balance.
Moore, as he has throughout his career, showed off his prowess with the ball in his hands in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. With just under five minutes remaining the first quarter, he reeled in a 10-yard throw from quarterback Sam Darnold and turned it into more. A lot more.
DJ MOORE IS A MAGICIAN!

The 29-yard reception set up the Panthers at the Cowboys’ 9-yard line. Three plays later, Sam (or Cam?) Darnold punched in a 1-yard touchdown, his fourth rushing score of the young season.

Not only is he close to already matching his rushing-touchdown total from his entire three-year stint with the New York Jets (five), but he currently leads the league in the category. This latest end-zone visit helped knot the tally at 7 late in the first quarter.
