VHS tapes have long been outdated as everything in the world becomes digitized, but most people still recognize one when they see one. Elijah Moore is not one of those people, though.
Moore took part in a video series by the Jets called “Meet the Fleet,” and was shown an image of a VHS tape. He knew it was a tape of some sort but was stumped when it came to what kind of tape it was.
We showed @e_moore03 a VHS tape and he didn't know what it was and now we feel old 😂😞

Moore, just 21 years old, had to have used a VHS tape before. DVDs didn’t come to the United States until 1997, so there’s a good chance Moore’s family had a VCR and put VHS tapes in it to watch videos when he was a kid.
Nowadays, not many people use VHS tapes or even DVDs because recording technologies have become more digitized over the years. It’s still funny to see that Moore had no idea what a VHS tape looked like, though.
Despite failing that test, Moore has a big year ahead of him. The Jets drafted Moore 34th overall in the 2021 NFL draft and they have high expectations for him.
Moore was a star at Ole Miss, catching 189 passes for 2,441 yards and 16 touchdowns. Moore’s junior season stood out more than the rest, as he recorded 86 catches for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns in just eight total games.
