Round 3 – Zack Moss, Utah
Now, Utah isn’t exactly a breeding-ground for running backs the way LSU and Georgia are, but Moss could change that narrative. In four college seasons, he ran 4,067 yards and 38 touchdowns and brought in 66 receptions for 685 yards and three touchdowns in the passing game.
At 5-foot-9 and 225 pounds, Moss can be a wrecking ball. He’s powerful with a solid burst to the line. In New England, Moss may be able to contribute in his rookie year as the short-yardage/red-zone threat that the Patriots have been missing. From there, he could develop into an old school three-down back, one that’s slower but has the sure hands and the power.
