Le'Veon Moss Scouting Report

Le’Veon Moss possesses elite-level physical tools that could allow him to serve as the featured running back in an offense.

Draft Grade: Round 4 - Developmental Traits

Strengths:

Straight-Line Acceleration: Moss is a quick accelerator in the open field. His smooth stride allows him to rapidly cover ground and create big gains.

Running Through Contact: Moss’s frame, combined with his ability to lower his pads, enables him to run through arm tackles and maintain forward momentum.

Lateral Cuts: While Moss has a high-hipped running style, he can plant his foot and change direction. He is most effective pressing a gap and making a single decisive cut upfield.

Concerns:

Scheme Fit: Moss appears best suited for a downhill power scheme where he can run behind his pads and maximize his physicality.

High Pad Level: Moss often runs upright with a high pad level, which can limit his ability to generate power and leaves him more susceptible to big hits from defenders.

Contact Balance: Moss can be tripped up by low or shoestring tackles, which can prevent him from turning potential big plays into additional yardage.

Injury: Moss has missed games in multiple seasons throughout his career, which will be something to monitor throughout the draft process.
