Pick Analysis. Utah. Zack Moss. 843. Scouting Report. RB. 4. player

Zack Moss of Utah is a first-round talent, but due to team needs and amount depth of RBs in this draft, he will likely fall into the second round.

With two back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, the Utah Ute star remains consistent. He can be reliable through the air as he brought in 29 receptions his sophomore season.

Moss runs the ball with precision and strength. He likes to put his head down and drive through defenders for extra yardage.

Moss Keeps his eyes downfield in space and adapts to every situation with an arsenal of juke moves. Sometimes he favors the stiff arm to avoid contact.

He doesn’t dance too much and gets downfield in a hurry. You’d be surprised that the Utah running back would fit well in a ground-and-pound type offense.

On the negative side of things, he has little agility and suffered a season-ending injury late last season. Although he is proving that ailment shouldn’t affect his placement in the 2020 NFL Draft.
