/Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore has been named the DC Touchdown Club Pro Football Player of the Week.
Moore, who played at the University of Maryland and was the DC Touchdown Club 2018 Washington Metro College Player of the Year, caught eight passes for 126 yards as the Panthers beat the Houston Texans, 24-9, this past Thursday night.
Moore played at Maryland from 2015 to 2017 and in 2017 was named the Big Ten Conference Receiver of the Year. He left Maryland after his junior season and was selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Panthers.
