Utah running back Zack Moss found himself a nice landing spot at the 2020 NFL Draft, says USA TODAY.
Pegging 20 rookies from the recent rookie selection process that could be “instant impact” newcomers, the new Buffalo Bills running back appeared on the list.
Here’s why, according to Nate Davis:
This offense could use a tone setter following the departure of Frank Gore, who led Buffalo with 166 carries in 2019. Moss could certainly step into that breach and provide a physical presence – and perhaps significantly improve on Gore’s 3.6 yards per carry last year – while ceding passing downs to second-year RB Devin Singletary. Definitely potential for a very nifty and highly complementary set of runners.
Welp, that’s the plan for the Bills on paper. Goodbye Gore, hello Moss. There’s a perfect spot for Moss in Buffalo’s offense, and one that Gore didn’t exactly thrive in down the stretch. Early in the season? Gore was a revelation for the Bills, but Buffalo’s coaching staff will hope Moss provides some of that physical play for longer stretches than Gore did in 2019. If Moss does successfully do so, he’ll help provide more assistance for the Bills’ entire offense, from Singletary to quarterback Josh Allen.
In total, 20 players were named to USA TODAY’s list. Of those, the Bills face a few in 2020. Those include Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs, Rams running back Cam Akers, Patriots tight end Devin Asiasi, Jets cornerback Bryce Hall and Chargers wide receiver KJ Hill.
