Tall and rangy, wide receiver J’Mon Moore is next to have a breakout season for the Tigers. In 2016, he could have been on point for a 1,600 yard season. Unfortunately, he didn’t start putting up those great numbers until late in the season.

Moore has committed his share of up and down performances, but with another season under his belt, and probably looking at being selected in the 2018 NFL Draft, he will work to have a solid season.

The fourth year receiver for Missouri’s kryptonite has been routine plays. Dropped passes and costly fumbles this year, could severely impact his draft stock.

Meanwhile, Moore has been a phenom on long fades, and has the speed to create separation from defenders.

If Moore can produce the numbers that he ended 2016 with, Missouri has a greater chance of winning far more than six games in 2017.
