DJ Moore Shares Hilarious Anecdote About Steve Smith
During his first five years in the NFL, D.J. Moore played for the Carolina Panthers where he had the opportunity to develop a relationship with veteran receiver Steve Smith. When asked if Smith was a mentor or big brother figure to him, Moore responded with a simple "you could say that."
The question came up during Moore's introductory press conference with the Chicago Bears, likely due to a scene from the show "Hard Knocks" a few years back when Moore was still a rookie. In the scene, Smith asked Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for advice on whether to start Moore in his fantasy football team, in front of Moore himself.
The clip ended with a hilarious exchange between Smith and Moore about the question, which has become a memorable moment for both players. While their relationship may have started off as a humorous one, it is clear that Smith had a positive impact on Moore's development as a player during his time in Carolina.
"Start me," Moore sheepishly responded.
"Start you? You give me two points I'm gonna slap the s--t out of you," Smith said.
Moore's response to the question about his relationship with Steve Smith during his time with the Panthers was brief, and essentially confirmed what many people already believed based on a memorable video clip from "Hard Knocks."
