Chargers had formal interview with RB Zack Moss

The Los Angeles Chargers had a formal interview with a productive running back.

According to former Utah running back Zack Moss, one of his formal interviews at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine was with the Los Angeles Chargers, per Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar.

The Chargers could be looking to bring in another running back if they elect to move on from Melvin Gordon, who is a pending free agent.

Moss enjoyed a productive collegiate career for the Utes. He was the first player in school history to have three 1,000-rushing yard seasons while surpassing six school records along the way.

Moss had 712 career carries, 4,167 career rushing yards, 18 career 100-yard rushing games, 38 career rushing touchdowns, 778 career all-purpose plays and 41 career total touchdowns.

The 5-foot-9 and 223 pound back isn’t going to beat defenders with speed, but he will with his instincts, toughness and physical nature, where he is decisive at the line of scrimmage and has the contact balance to stay upright.

One of his red flags is durability concerns. Moss suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2018 and he dealt with a shoulder injury for the majority of his senior campaign.

Moss currently projects as a third or fourth-round selection.
