Moore released a picture that showed him hanging out with former NFL superstar, and who some may argue is the greatest player of all time when it comes to NFL football, Tom Brady. The picture could mean many things, but there are a few interesting things that are worth mentioning.

Moore is a guy who has earned a ton of attention thanks to his season in 2025. His stats were impressive, and because of that, there have been many labeling him as a future first-round draft pick. One person who stays within arm's length of the NFL is Brady, who still has ties to the league. It's worth mentioning that Brady is a part-owner of an NFL franchise.

He is a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He owns a total of five percent of the Raiders. If someone has an eye for talent at the quarterback position, it would be Brady. The Raiders are selecting No. 1 in the 2026 NFL Draft, and they are expected to select recent Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first pick. The quarterback would be joining the Raiders from the Indiana Hoosiers, who defeated the Ducks in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff.

Brady has won seven Super Bowls and is also viewed as one of the more complete individuals in the history of the NFL. He finished his career with three MVPs and has almost broken every significant passing record that there is to break in his career.

That being said, at one point during the season, Moore was projected to be selected with the first pick in the draft. He instead opted to return to the Oregon program to chase a national championship with his teammates in Eugene, a decision that shocked some fans.

Now that the season is approaching, it is likely that all eyes will be on Moore, but it is no secret that Brady is quite familiar with the Ducks quarterback. The picture Moore posted details how much respect a quarterback like him has. He should only build up respect if he lives up to his expectations in 2026.
