The Rams talk to running zack

5-foot-9 223-pound running back Zack Moss, a Utah Utes standout, is on the draft board of many NFL teams. Whether the Rams may be seeking a more powerful running back to use in multiple ways, a faster guy to flash through the hole, or a solid back who can be incredibly dangerous out of the backfield as a receiver, Moss certainly brings a wide spectrum of “he can do that” abilities to the NFL.

He’s showed up on Rams mocks for the 2020 NFL Draft as a potential running back prospect long before the LA Rams met with him. For good reason, as Moss has all the skills the Rams need, particularly in light of the sudden opening at featured running back.

NFL.com projects him to start within his first two NFL seasons. He will be promoted quickly if he is added to the Rams roster. I had no problems projecting him as the Rams future starter with Gurley still on the roster. Without Gurley, Moss is an ideal candidate to take over the job.

As Utah's Zack Moss readies for on-field stuff at the Combine later today, per source, he has met with 12 teams this week in Indy.

The Ute was surprisingly adept and productive on offense. He has been compared to Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt, a forceful runner who breaks tackles routinely. The only drawback to Moss is the observation with too many carries he will tire. But the Rams have Henderson and Brown, who would happily add Moss to work among a committee. That seems to be exactly what the Rams are aiming at for the running back in 2020.
