Zack Moss – RB (Utah)

Measurements:

  • Height: 5-foot-9 | Weight: 223 pounds

2019 Stats:

  • 235 rushes
  • 1,416 yards (6.0 average)
  • 15 touchdowns

Zack Moss might be one of the first running backs off the board when it is all said and done. He is a powerful bruiser out of the backfield who thrives off of contact in the hole. Moss loves to hit the hole and look for contact before burning defenders down the field.

One thing teams will love about Moss is his willingness to block in the passing game. He may not project as a great receiving threat, he can still contribute in the passing game by standing strong in the backfield.

The top of this draft class is talented at running back. The second tier is not as highly touted as the top, but Zack Moss stands out at the top of that group. He will likely hear his name called on Day 2, which is early for the Vikings. If there was one running back to take that high, Moss is the guy for the Vikings.
