Dante Moore, the star quarterback of Oregon, has yet to make a decision on his NFL future despite several mock drafts already projecting him as the second overall pick. The New York Jets, who are looking for a quarterback after a disappointing 3-14 season, have been linked to Moore, and it's unclear whether he will take the leap to the pros or return to school.
Moore had a tumultuous night in the Peach Bowl College Football Playoff semifinal, throwing two interceptions, including one on the first play of the game. Despite this, he still managed to lead his team to 24 completions out of 39 attempts for two touchdowns. The Ducks ultimately lost to Indiana by a score of 56-22.
The Jets' interest in Moore has been evident, with ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. projecting him as the second overall pick in his latest mock draft. This would mark a significant change from the Jets' current quarterback situation, which has seen Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook all struggle to find consistency.
Moore, who had an impressive 3,280 yards and 28 touchdowns passing this season, will now have to weigh his options carefully. If he decides to return to school, it would add another layer of intrigue to the draft, as teams would be able to assess his potential without the uncertainty of him entering the league early.
For now, Moore's focus is on giving love and support to his teammates following their disappointing loss. As he moves forward, the entire college football world will be watching to see whether he chooses to pursue his NFL dreams or stay in school for another year.

Dante Moore is literally one of my faves on the field and now he's gotta decide between going pro or staying in school... it's soooo stressful for him I feel like he's under so much pressure from all these mock drafts saying he's gonna be a 2nd overall pick but what if he doesn't wanna play? 
idk man, I just want to see how he handles the stress and if he ends up making the right decision for himself 
but at the same time, I think it's awesome that teams like the Jets are interested in him! He had an incredible season and if he decides to return to school, it'll be all about the draft drama 
. Personally, I think he should weigh his options carefully and do what's best for him 
. It's a tough decision, but I'm sure he'll make the right one 
. Let's just hope he gets back to his form soon and leads Oregon (or whoever he chooses) to victory 
i feel like he's gotta make this tough decision alone rn but at least he's got his teammates supporting him 
it's not gonna be easy, especially after that peach bowl game 
. But honestly, he's still got a lot 2 offer 
. I think it's pretty cool dat the Jets are interested 'n all 
. On da other hand, if he stays in school, it'll b interesting 2 see how dat plays out 
... idk wut he's gonna choose tho 
. And what's with everyone assuming he's definitely going pro just because he's had some decent seasons? College stats don't always translate to the pros 
. Plus, teams like the Jets have been stuck with QB issues for ages... how confident can they be that Moore would actually fix their problems?
