New Bills wide receiver DJ Moore hasn’t wasted any time in endearing himself to fans in Buffalo.
Moore was recently at a mall in the Buffalo suburbs when he spotted a T-shirt store selling shirt jerseys with his name and number on them. Moore walked into the store without identifying himself, paid $1,200 to buy all 27 of the shirts in stock, and asked the manager to give them away for free to the first 27 fans who came in looking for a D.J. Moore shirt.
Scot Marshall, assistant manager at Tee Shirt University, told WKBW that he didn’t recognize Moore and was confused by the unusual request to buy 27 shirts and leave them at the store for others.
“I’m like, ‘What? Do you know the guy or work for him? ‘ and he’s like, ‘Yeah, I work for him,’” Marshall said. “He’s kind of joking around. So he buys them, he goes, ‘I’m going to leave them all here, if anybody comes and they want one, just tell them, DJ Moore bought it for them.’ And then he walks out the door, and he pokes his head back in and goes, ‘Yeah, it’s me.’ And he just walks away, and it was a very nice thing that he did.”
Marshall said Moore fits right in with what Buffalo loves about the Bills.
“It means a lot. I mean, it shows he cares. He’s loving the community so far. So yeah, he’s just a very nice guy, and that’s the kind of athlete we usually get in the city,” Marshall said.
The store did not advertise a giveaway of the Moore shirts and instead just left them on display with price tags that showed $0.00 and a small note saying, “This shirt was paid for by DJ Moore!” When the gesture was revealed publicly, only two of the 27 shirts remained in stock.
