The Seattle Seahawks are one of 12 teams to meet with Utah running back Zack Moss at the NFL combine, according to a report from Josh Newman of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Meeting with players at the combine often doesn’t mean much, as team’s are either just doing their due diligence or having informal conversations – so it’s hard to read too much into this interaction.
After all, Seattle has Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer fairly well established in the backfield in 2020, and Moss would almost certainly cost the team one of their second round picks.
However – Carson and Penny are both dealing with serious injuries, and Moss is a punishing runner who is extremely hard to take down, and has drawn comparisons to Kareem Hunt.
The Seahawks are very familiar with Utah, having taken Marquise Blair and Cody Barton from the Utes last year, but it’s hard to imagine this team going after any running back in the first two rounds – even if Moss does seems to fit what Seattle looks for in their backs.
