Zack Moss, Utah

Zack Moss suffered from one of the more peculiar injuries we’ve seen: a knee injury sustained when he was getting out of bed. Bizarre.

If Moss didn’t suffer the knee injury last season, it was likely that he would have declared for the draft after a very successful nine-game stretch. In the first nine games of the season, Moss amassed over 1,000-yards, 6.1 yards-per-carry, and 12 touchdowns from scrimmage.

If Moss wants to be in consideration as one of the best backs in the class he needs to prove he can be utilized more as a receiver. He doesn’t appear natural as a pass-catcher and needs more positive reps on tape before he can be considered a well-rounded prospect.
