In his inaugural season with the Chicago Bears, wide receiver DJ Moore delivered a significant impact, achieving career-best statistics in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,364), and touchdowns (8). Nevertheless, Moore remains undervalued, with notable omissions from Pro Bowl selections, especially considering his consistent performance despite playing in lackluster offensive units throughout his six-year career. One such instance was when ESPN's Shannon Sharpe, in a tweet, expressed the opinion that Moore did not even rank among the top 15 wide receivers in the NFL.
Sharpe conducted a poll on Twitter, asking users to choose between Moore and a list of alternative receivers, which included Tyreek Hill, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Mar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs, Davante Adams, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Puka Nucua, A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Michael Pittman Jr., and Nico Collins. Sharpe himself was unequivocal in his stance, stating that he wouldn't pick any of them over Moore.
Meanwhile, it's worth noting that Moore ranked sixth in the NFL for receiving yards, forming a formidable duo with Justin Fields in one of the league's most potent offenses. It's also remarkable that Moore maintained his exceptional performance even when Fields missed four games during the season.
Bears' star defensive end, Montez Sweat, joined the conversation, offering high praise for Moore by expressing his preference for Moore over all 18 of the mentioned receivers in the debate.
