2. Elijah Moore is a freak

Ole Miss has had some freakish receivers over the years — DK Metcalf is a prime example — and when you think of the Rebels, you think of elite wide outs.

Elijah Moore is the latest and he might end up being the best.

The junior from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has been bullying defensive backfields this season, racking up 591 yards and three touchdowns on 47 receptions through five games. He added 238 yards and three touchdowns on 14 receptions to those numbers and he is now over 800 yards and 60 catches on the season and Ole Miss has played just six games.

This kid is an absolute freak.

While he’s just 5-foot-9 and 185 pounds, his speed and toughness are nearly impossible to match by opposing defenses. He’s the first receiver in school history to record two 200-yard receiving games in a single season and his 238 yards was the single-game record for the Rebels. His 14 receptions also tied the school record for a single game.

Moore is going to be a stud in the NFL one day.
