Zack Moss

At the start of this list was the Buffalo Bills second round pick in A.J. Epenesa and the final player is the one the Buffalo Bills drafted with their next pick, Zack Moss. Last year, Devin Singletary became the featured running back and had nearly 1,000 yards from scrimmage with four total touchdowns.

However, the successful offenses have multiple running backs that can carry the workload and that is where Zack Moss comes into play.

In the final three years at Utah, Moss broke 1,000 rushing yards each season while averaging over 200 carries. He is a compact running back that breaks through tackles and has good balance that allows him to keep moving forward.

The way that Singletary finished the year, it would be easy to think that he would enter the year as the team’s lead back. He certainly may but what Moss brings to this offense, expect him to slowly take more snaps from Singletary to the point that it is almost a 50/50 split by the end of the year between the two.
