If the Houston Texans are looking for a young running back, they can find one at three different levels of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Mid-round pick: Zack Moss, Utah

A brutal runner with a hard-nosed approach to tacklers, Moss finished his career at Utah first-team all-PAC 12 after recording 1,416 rushing yards, 388 receiving yards, and 17 total touchdowns his senior year. Durability is a concern after injuries effected him throughout most of his college career. Not an explosive runner, he has decent top-end speed and would be a good fit for O’Brien’s offense, something that has clearly crossed their minds given they met with Moss at the combine. He is similar in style to former O’Brien favorite Alfred Blue and should go around the third to the fourth round.
