5 Carolina Panthers players with potential to dominate in 2021
By Dean Jones
D.J. Moore – Carolina Panthers WR
Considering D.J. Moore has yet to have a stable presence at quarterback since entering the league, his production has been nothing short of outstanding. The wide receiver is one of the league’s more underrated players at the position and the Carolina Panthers are counting on the former first-round pick to raise his level once again in year No. 4 of his professional career.
Moore is coming off two 1,000-yard receiving seasons, which should stand him in good stead.
His route-running is developing steadily with every passing season and providing everything clicks right away with new signal-caller Sam Darnold, this should serve the wideout and the Panthers well next season.
The Maryland product formed a prolific partnership with Robby Anderson in 2020 and hopefully, this can continue despite last year’s free-agent signing skipping the voluntary period of OTAs.
Having Christian McCaffrey back will also aid Moore’s cause, as will the additions of Shi Smith and Terrace Marshall Jr. during the 2021 NFL Draft.
If Moore wants to be truly considered among the elite, he’ll have to keep putting up substantial numbers despite opposing defenses keying in on the receiver far more than he’s experienced to date.

There is nothing to suggest Moore is not capable of dealing with this well. So look for him to put together a dominant campaign when it’s all said and done.
