There won\u2019t be anything flashy on tape, but Moss consistently adds yards after collison. He has adequate burst to race to the second level and keeps runs alive with solid contact balance, but he lacks the elusiveness and top-end speed associated with more dangerous backs. He can fit any run scheme and will step up to challenge blitzers in pass pro, but limited receiving talent caps his third-down value. Moss profiles as a blue-collar backup capable of shouldering a larger workload when needed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Le&#8217;Veon Moss on his game<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">To wrap up his interview with Melo, Moss was asked why a team should use one of their draft picks to select him:<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I\u2019m a hard worker,&#8221; Moss said. &#8220;I\u2019m going to be one of the best running backs in this draft. Don\u2019t let the injuries fool you. A team won\u2019t regret using a draft pick on me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What is the Jaguars&#8217; need in the NFL draft at running back?<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Jaguars could be content with the current construction of their room. There are five running backs under contract, giving them depth on the training camp roster. Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten could share the workload out of the backfield in-season, while LeQuint Allen continues to see snaps during more obvious passing downs. That said, with 11 draft picks, Jacksonville does have the flexibility to continue adding here, while still addressing more high-priority needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 19, 2026, 7:45 a.m. ET The Jacksonville Jaguars&#8217; lone free agent addition came at running back, but&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95878,7,6,31186,95933,95882,95936,95896,95888,95906,96099,96716,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-869875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfljaguars","12":"tag-sstsnjaguars","13":"tag-tagamerican-football","14":"tag-tagjacksonville-jaguars","15":"tag-tagnational-sports","16":"tag-tagnfl","17":"tag-tagoverall-positive","18":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","19":"tag-tagsports-illustrated","20":"tag-tagsports-news","21":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116431242118676357","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
