The Arizona Cardinals have begun their preparation for the 2020 NFL Draft and they are beginning to line up visits with prospects now that the NFL combine has finished.
They have interest in at least one running back.
According to sister site Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar, the Cardinals are one of several teams to have had formal interviews with Moss.
Utah RB Zack Moss had formal combine interviews with the Rams, Packers, Chiefs, Bills, Chargers, Seahawks, Colts, Texans, Saints, Steelers, Cardinals, and Lions. Dolphins and Cardinals have requested private facility workouts. Ran a 4.65 40 on a strained hamstring. Pro day 3/26.

Arizona also has requested a private workout as well.
Moss rushed for more than 1,400 yards in 2019 for the Utes and 15 touchdowns. He also had nearly 400 receiving yards for a total of more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns.
He also had more than 1,000 yards on the ground in 2017 and 2018.
The Cardinals could zero in on a running back in the draft this year because it might be too expensive to re-sign Kenyan Drake and they don’t want to necessarily count on David Johnson to return to form.
Moss is the top-rated running back in the draft, according to Pro Football Focus. The Cardinals’ player rankings in the 2019 draft were very similar to PFF’s.
