The optimism surrounding Elijah Moore was once impossible to ignore during his time in New York.

Those days are long gone, but there's good news: Moore has received a fresh start in Cleveland. The Browns' trade for the former second-round pick of the Jets has granted the receiver a new opportunity to see the field more than he did in his first two seasons and carve out a larger role than the tertiary one he occupied in New York.

Moore's sudden change in scenery fulfills a wish he first vocalized during the 2022 season, and in his opinion, positions him for success, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

"No, I did not, man, it was like out of nowhere, but I'm, you know, super excited," Moore said when asked if he expected to be traded. "You know, I feel like being here with Deshaun (Watson) and Coop (Amari Cooper) and just the whole team is like a very good mesh and I couldn't be happier to be here. You know, I feel like it's really going to go well."

"I can't predict the future, but I'm going to put my best foot forward," Moore said. "I feel like I'm here for a reason, so whatever happens, I'm going to be ready for it. People go through things and you got to learn from it. I feel like I'm the type of person that learns from my mistakes. You see what I'm saying? We're all human so I'm just going to try to do what I feel like I could've did better last year in whatever position I'm going to be in now."
