Tops 100 tackles as rookie
Moore registered 101 tackles (56 solo), three passes defensed and a forced fumble across 17 appearances in 2025.
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.

Notches eight stops vs. Saints
Moore recorded eight tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a Week 16 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: Moore's tackle total was third-highest on the Jets. He helped New York get off to a promising start when he forced a fumble that was recovered by a teammate on the second play of the game, but the Jets still went on to lose by a big margin. Moore has been quite productive of late with at least seven tackles in each of his past four games.

Minimal output in loss
Moore tallied three total tackles (all solo) and one pass defended in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Leads Jets in tackles Sunday
Moore finished with eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: The safety now has 34 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup on the year. Moore, a rookie fourth-round pick, got the starting safety job in September when Tony Adams was sidelined by a hip injury, but he hasn't ceded it even with Adams back in the fold. The rookie has played on every defensive snap in each of the Jets' last three games.

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