Not only that, if you don't think Moore has the ability to surpass 65 career receptions for 509 yards and 4 TDs then you're high as a kite.
Moore isn't comparable to DAT. He's not even in the conversation.

Because Antonio Brown is in the conversation. And again, I think there’s a better chance he ends up closer to Thomas’s career numbers than Brown.
And because DAT is one inch shorter than Moore while also being built extremely similarly and having near identical athletic profiles.
You can act as though a single inch is the right line between success and failure among WR prospects if you’d like, but you know that’s just another arbitrary line of distinction. The league is LITTERED with guys like Moore that just never made it and yes, he’s closer to Deanthony Thomas as an extreme example of his floor than he is Antonio Brown as his ceiling.
