Legal troubles

Marijuana and Weapons Charges

On July 3rd, 2022 Moore was found to have passed out in a Ford F250 pickup truck while in a Taco Bell drive-through, in his hometown of Gainesville. Police claimed to have smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle. The search uncovered THC edibles and 3 pistols. Moore was booked on July 4th and released after posting a $5000 bail for the marijuana possession and weapons charges. [5]

Professional career

Seattle Seahawks

In the 2017 NFL Draft, Moore was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round, 226th overall.[6] Two weeks later on May 12, the Seahawks signed him to a four-year, $2.48 million contract that included a signing bonus of $87,365.[7] Moore was waived on September 2, and assigned to the practice squad the next day.[8][9] He was promoted to the Seahawks' active roster on November 22, 2017.[10]

Against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4 of the 2018 season, Moore recorded his first two professional receptions for 39 total yards.[11] In the following game against the Los Angeles Rams, he had three receptions for 38 yards and his first two professional receiving touchdowns.[12] In Weeks 6 and 8, he recorded a receiving touchdown against the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions.[13][14] In Week 12, he had his first game going over the century mark with 103 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers.[15] Moore finished the 2018 season with 26 receptions for 445 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.[16]

In the 2019 season, Moore finished with 17 receptions for 301 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.[17] He re-signed with Seattle on a one-year contract on April 22, 2020.[18]

During the Seahawks' Week 2 game against the New England Patriots in 2020, Moore caught an improbable 38-yard touchdown on the sideline. The catch probability was rated as 6.3%, the lowest since Tyler Lockett's toe-drag reception in 2019 against the Rams.
