Bears' Moore: I might race Allen to 1,000 receiving yards

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore thinks the acquisition of Keenan Allen could mean big seasons for both players.

During an appearance on the "Mully & Haugh Show," Moore said that he was excited when he heard about the trade and doesn't care who is on the receiving end of targets.

"It doesn't really matter to me,” Moore explained. "I know we've both talked about how we're going to complement each other. So I'm just looking forward to that. It might be a race to 1,000 (yards), but that's just a friendly competition. At end of the day, if we're winning, whoever is catching the ball, I don't really care.”

Moore, who is coming off a single-season career high of 96 receptions and 1,364 yards, added that he's "looking forward to learning from" Allen.

“His game has spoken for it all. He’s a savvy route runner. He sets people up and makes people look silly out there," said Moore.

The Bears acquired Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers last week in exchange for a fourth-round pick. The 31-year-old recorded a career-high 108 receptions last season and totalled 1,243 receiving yards.

It is not known who will be throwing passes to Moore and Allen, but the Bears will select a quarterback first overall in the draft. Caleb Williams is the top prospect.
