Moore registered 101 tackles (56 solo), three passes defensed and a forced fumble across 17 appearances in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Moore was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in a forgettable season. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Alabama finished second on the team in tackles behind Jamien Sherwood's 154, and Moore forced one of the Jets' league-low four takeaways. The Jets have plenty of holes to fill heading into 2026, but they seem to have found a starting safety in Moore.

Moore has been quite productive of late with at least seven tackles in each of his past four games.

The safety now has 34 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup on the year.

Moore (oblique) logged three tackles (two solo) in the Jets' preseason loss to the Giants on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Moore had suffered a strained oblique in practice earlier this month that led to him being sidelined but is now healthy again. The 23-year-old should serve as the team's backup free safety behind Andre Cisco once the regular season begins.
