Elijah Moore took to Twitter on Sunday night to express his displeasure with his usage so far this season, saying, “If I say what I really wanna say…I’ll be the selfish guy,” after not receiving a single target in Sunday’s win over the Packers.
The sophomore receiver talked with head coach Robert Saleh afterward, and Saleh isn’t concerned about the tweet growing into anything more.
“He wants to contribute and sometimes we think our contributions are from productivity only when your contributions can come from a variety of different things,” Saleh. "There’s a million ways to contribute to this football team.
“I got no problem with Elijah. He’s one of our high-character individuals. Love him to death and eventually the production part of it that he’s hoping for will come. Just continue to work.”
If I say what I really wanna say…I’ll be the selfish guy…we winning. Grateful! Huge blessing! All I ever wanted. Butter sweet for me em but I’ll be solid. So I’ll just stay quiet. Just know I don’t understand either. https://t.co/mROuef1ejd

So far this season, Moore has just 16 catches for 203 yards, and has yet to find the end zone. Last year, he logged 538 receiving yards and caught five touchdown passes, but he hasn’t been as much a part of the Jets passing game this season, though the team is enjoying much more success.
