Moore said of all the things Smith has emphasized to him over the years, knowing when to be intense has been at the top of the list.
"Just to be hard-working," Moore said. "He's always talked about going into practice like it was a game. Always be professional, and always have a dog mentality when you get out there.
"Whether you have a big personality like him or a laid-back vibe like I've got, you've still got to have that dog when you step out there."
And given his performance, Moore's also entering the territory that Smith occupied for so long — the target. While the Panthers had a diverse passing game last year (in the absence of the injured Christian McCaffrey), Moore proved he can be a lead dog, and hopes to continue that this year.
Whether others consider him as such doesn't faze him.
"I would hope so, and I think so," he replied when asked if he thought he was considered elite. "But everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
"In my mind, I don't look at myself as not-elite, so I'm always ready to go out and put on my best show."
