Overview
If their is anything NFL coaches love in a player it's one that never turns down an opportunity to help the teams and prove himself and Riley Moss certainly did just that for the Hawkeyes in his lengthy career. You can tell he puts his time into the game on and off the field to become a better player and a more useful piece on defense. His ball skills and high football IQ have been his bread and butter in his five seasons with the Hawkeyes and athletic testing at the combine only made him a more intriguing prospect overall. Some teams may draft him with the safety position in mind which is not a bad idea considering how well zone cover corners can make a home at that position but Moss to me is a plug-n-play rookie in zone defense that can lineup anywhere. Yes he's very much scheme dependent as a prospect and have to earn his stripes on special teams early in his career but you can't teach his work ethic and readiness as pro currently and any defensive coordinator that likes zone coverage is likely to have him higher on their boards that most other teams in the league.
