Former Maryland wide receiver DJ Moore's pro day at Cole Field House March 28 proved to be a preview of what was to come for Moore during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft April 26.
Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner was on hand in College Park, Md., for Moore's workout, which consisted of running a variety of routes and catching passes from graduate assistant Caleb Rowe. Turner was more than an interested observer: some of the routes came directly from Turner. After his workout, Moore said one of the visits on his schedule was to Carolina.
The Panthers drafted Moore with their first-round pick, the 24th overall. Moore will be added to a skill position group that includes quarterback Cam Newton, running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end Greg Olsen and receivers Devin Funchess and Torrey Smith.
