Utah running back Zack Moss is one of the most physical running backs in the 2020 NFL Draft class. His blend of power, balance and passing game ability make him one of the top RB prospects this year.
That package interests the Detroit Lions enough that the team hosted Moss for a formal interview during the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine last week. That information was confirmed by Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar earlier this week.
Moss generally projects as a third- or fourth-round talent. He would be more highly regarded if not for some injury issues in his past and his pedestrian speed. Moss is not a speedster but more of a power back with shifty feet and exceptional balance through contact. Lions fans might be reminded of peak Joique Bell when watching Moss.
