After starting things off with pass rusher AJ Epenesa, the Bills didn’t wait much longer to nab their first addition to their offense at the 2020 NFL Draft.
After Epenesa in Round 2, it was running back Zack Moss in Round 3, pick No. 86. It’s the second year in a row the Bills selected a running back in the third round.
Moss will pair up with Devin Singletary to potentially create a dynamic duo out of their backfield. Therefore, you’re going you’ll want to know more about the man.
Here are 12 things to know about new Bills running back Zack Moss:
Miami decommit
Moss and Singletary actually have crossed paths already. Way, way back, in fact. During his conference call with the media after being picked by the Bills, Moss said he knows Singletary already as they’re both from Florida. Speaking of Florida, his plan changed there once upon a time.
Moss played his college ball at Utah. At first, he planned to at the University of Miami. Playing early ball at nearby Hallandale High School, Moss made a verbal commitment to the University of Miami and then rescinded it.
The Hurricanes fired coach Al Golden in October 2015 following a 58-0 loss to Clemson, the worst defeat in program history. At the time, Moss reaffirmed his commitment to the Miami Herald and over social media. Then, things changed and he wanted to get away from home. He also had offers from Cincinnati and Appalachian State, but ended up opting for Utah.
On a side note, Moss actually transferred schools as a high school senior as well, so the process was nothing new to him.
