He's a Michigan native and Western Michigan product who was drafted in the second round of the 2017 draft. When he moved to his new home, it was to a host of family.
"So my whole mother's side of the family is actually from Gastonia," the Lansing native explained. "It's actually crazy how much family I have here aunts, uncles, cousins, and I've, you know, I've gotten so close to them over the years being here and I've always felt the love and support from them and, you know, my parents living down here now, my mom being that close to all her family down here, it's been quite a blessing."
Having family embedded in the area made it even easier for Moton to fall in love so quickly. But it's also the found family within the walls at Bank of America that made him want to stay. And as the Panthers put together a stable and productive offensive line room the past year, Moton realized he could go out with the team that drafted him, while playing with one of the best units of his career.
Four of the five starting linemen are under contract through the next two seasons.
"It's a blessing and I love the guys in the room," expressed Moton. "I'm so fired up that I'm going to continue to be able to work with them, along with the coaches, phenomenal coaches in the building, so it's been a great situation and one that's very rare in the NFL."
