The Arizona Cardinals have apparent interest in Utah running back Zack Moss in the NFL draft later this month. They met with him at the combine. They have had a FaceTime visit with him.
With Kenyan Drake signed only to a one-year contract, the Cardinals could target a running back in the draft.
If Moss is the guy they want, there is good news.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Moss was given positive news about his knee.
NFL teams notified Utah RB Zack Moss, who underwent knee surgery in 2018, that his surgically repaired knee checked out well, per his agent Jamal Tooson. Moss’ knee was a concern for teams and the player coming into the process, but this was his best-case scenario.

He had his knee surgically repaired in 2018 and it checked out well. That injury was a concern for some teams.
Moss rushed for over 1,000 each of the last three seasons for the Utes. In 2019, he had 235 carries for 1,416 yards and 15 touchdowns, leading the Pac-12 in yards and touchdowns.
He is 5-foot-9 and 223 pounds, runs violently and has good feet, although he is not speedy, clocking in at the combine with a 40 time of 4.65 seconds. He could be a target for the Cardinals with their third-round pick.
