In the 2017 NFL Draft, Moore was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round, 226th overall.[6] Two weeks later on May 12, the Seahawks signed him to a four-year, $2.48 million contract that included a signing bonus of $87,365.[7] Moore was waived on September 2, and assigned to the practice squad the next day.[8][9] He was promoted to the Seahawks' active roster on November 22, 2017.[10]

Against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4 of the 2018 season, Moore recorded his first two professional receptions for 39 total yards.[11] In the following game against the Los Angeles Rams, he had three receptions for 38 yards and his first two professional receiving touchdowns.[12] In Weeks 6 and 8, he recorded a receiving touchdown against the Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions.[13][14] In Week 12, he had his first game going over the century mark with 103 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers.[15] Moore finished the 2018 season with 26 receptions for 445 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.[16]
