D.J. Moore’s ascension

One of the players Bridgewater will need to establish a rapport with fast is the team’s top wide receiver, D.J. Moore. Last year, Moore brokeout in the second half of the season not long after Steve Smith criticized him on the radio. From Weeks 8-14 before his injury, Moore proved he’s a legitimate No. 1 option, averaging over 100 yards per game. The Panthers haven’t had a Pro Bowl receiver since Smith in 2011. This could be the year that streak breaks if Moore picks up where he left off and finds a rhythm with Teddy.
