The Facts: Moore says that as a student of the receiving position, there’s been no better teacher than his new teammate Amari Cooper. The 22-year-old Moore says he’s been watching the 28-year-old Cooper for many years and has always looked up to him. After the Jets traded Moore to the Browns this week, they’re teammates. “I heard about [Cooper] when I was young,” Moore said. “So hearing him do his thing as far as how he moves and just his dedication to football is how we’re built over there. So major respect.”
Diehards Line:Moore said he takes pride in running good routes and has learned that in part by watching Cooper. “My strengths, I feel like I’m a route runner, so wherever they need me, I can do it,” Moore said. “That’s why I feel like I can go outside and in. I’ve been practicing this since I was 15 years old. This is something I try to craft on, this something I hold as you would say Coop holds. He’s known for being a route runner. I’ve been studying Coop since I was little.” Moore fell out of favor with the Jets last season, but he says he’s confident he’s going to be on the same page with everyone in Cleveland. Meanwhile, if Moore can emulate Cooper, Cleveland will be glad to have him.
