6. Zack Moss, Utah

Zack Moss got plenty of attention during his sophomore and junior seasons but decided against declaring early in hopes of making a run with the Utes in 2019, a run that fell just short of a Rose Bowl berth. He racked up 1,416 yards on the ground, averaging a whopping six yards per carry, and factored more in the passing game as a senior.

Moss is a powerful running back and is built like a bowling ball. He’s tough to bring down and succeeds in short-yardage situations. In space, Moss has a devastating stiff arm and uses it often to keep defenders off of him.

He has better long speed than he’s given credit for and he has no issue picking up chunk yardage. He’s also a very solid pass catcher with natural hands and can make an impact on all three downs in the NFL.

His vision could use a little more work and he lacks in is his flexibility and lateral agility. He often wins with strength, which isn’t a bad thing but will have a tougher time making defenders miss in space with his quickness.

However, because he makes an impact on three downs, teams should be very happy with him in round three because of his toughness and intangibles.
