Malachi Moore: Everything you need to know

Moore registered 101 tackles (56 solo), three passes defensed and a forced fumble across 17 appearances in 2025. Moore was one of the few bright spots for the Jets in a forgettable season. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Alabama finished second on the team in tackles behind Jamien Sherwood's 154, and Moore forced one of the Jets' league-low four takeaways. The Jets have plenty of holes to fill heading into 2026, but they seem to have found a starting safety in Moore.

Moore recorded seven tackles (four solo) and one pass breakup in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Additionally, Moore caught a three-yard pass on a fake punt against New England. The fourth-round rookie defensive back has logged 91 tackles (53 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 16 appearances this season.

Moore recorded eight tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble Sunday in a Week 16 loss to New Orleans. Moore's tackle total was third-highest on the Jets. He helped New York get off to a promising start when he forced a fumble that was recovered by a teammate on the second play of the game, but the Jets still went on to lose by a big margin. Moore has been quite productive of late with at least seven tackles in each of his past four games.
